“He is also doing well at Manchester United, but they have a fantastic midfield,” Netherlands manager Frank de Boer said when asked about Donny van de Beek’s lack of playing time at Man United.
“That’s difficult too, but Donny will still get to play enough. Of course he wants more, but you also have to get used to a different competition.
“He will experience that too, let’s hope he will eventually get game minutes. In any case, he is equipped, so we can use him well.”
Van de Beek has only started a couple of games for United so far this season and it looks like Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is taking it slow with integrating him into the starting XI. The United gaffer has utmost confidence in his ability and will probably start using him more often as the schedule gets even more challenging in December.
