Van de Beek Rarely Being Played at MU, This Is Solskjaer’s Answer

DBasia.news – Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has assured Donny van de Beek that his time will come at Manchester United after he became an unused substitute on Saturday against Chelsea.

In that match, Solskjaer played Fred and Scott McTominay in midfield. Meanwhile, in the second half Manchester United only played Paul Pogba. Meanwhile, Van de Beek was not given the opportunity at all.

The manager’s decision immediately received the spotlight from two Manchester United legends, Patrice Evra and Gary Neville.

“We are talking about Van de Beek. There is nothing against the player. However, why did we buy him? We do not need him, that’s the truth,” Evra said as reported by Sky Sports.

However, Solskjaer insisted that his decision was purely tactical. In addition, the manager also said that Donny van de Beek would certainly have the opportunity to play, in due time.

“Don’t worry about it. He will play, don’t worry. It’s easy to tell who to play. It’s more difficult to say who shouldn’t play,” said Solskjaer.

Since being brought in from Ajax, Van de Beek has only played four matches in the Premier League as a substitute. Total Van de Beek has only played 61 minutes with Manchester United in the Premier League.
