Donny van de Beek still important to United

Oct 28, 2020

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has defended his tactics with Donny van de Beek, amid noise from critics.

The midfielder has played just 59 minutes of Premier League football for United, since joining in the summer.

Solskjaer asked for the Dutchman to be given time to adjust, adding a player doesn’t need to start every match to be an important part of the team.

It’s unclear whether van de Beek will be part of United’s squad in their Champions League clash against RB Leipzig tomorrow morning.
