Manchester United midfielder Donny van de Beek’s agent says he couldn’t have imagined a worse start to life at Old Trafford for his client.
The dutch a Premier League match with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has yet to start. Indeed the £ 38.5 million signing played 23 minutes against Crystal Palace in the Red Devils’ first game of the season.
Van de Beek was just a late entry into the showdown in Brighton last weekend and the 23-year-old’s current plight has prompted an angry reaction from his manager.
Sjaak Swart said SoccerPrimeur: “A substitute, I don’t like it at all. I couldn’t do it myself, having four minutes to play.
“I have to say he did three more good things,” said Swart. The penalty, from which the winning goal came, came from him.
“Normally they should have lost 7-1. Brighton hit the post and the bar five times. They have a good team, but that shouldn’t happen to Manchester United. “
As Swart pointed out, Van de Beek has made a fantastic impact when he has appeared. He played a key role in winning United last minute penalty to sink the Gaviotas comeback.
Before that, the midfielder was a bright light for the Red Devils in a dismal display against Palace.
Additionally, Van de Beek is United’s only signing in the transfer window. However, there could be a lot of activity in and out of Old Trafford as Monday’s deadline approaches.
