It may only have been a friendly, but Van de Beek clearly didn’t care. After breaking the deadlock with a brilliant volley just moments after coming on, the attacking midfielder showed just how much the goal meant to him. And why not?

Donny van de Beek Breaks Silence on Man Utd Exit Rumors
Donny van de Beek marked his first Manchester United appearance since January with a superb volleyed winner as Erik ten Hag’s side beat Lyon 1-0 in a pre-season friendly at Murrayfield.
Van de Beek, who missed the second half of last season with a knee injury, guided youngster Dan Gore’s cross into the net only minutes after his half-time introduction as United followed up last week’s 2-0 win over Leeds in Norway with another victory.
BREAKING! Bruno Fernandes named new Man Utd captain
Van de Beek says: Hard to say where my future lies
Donny van de Beek said after the game: “For now, it’s hard to say where my future is. I’ve come back now after injury and I’m fit now, so I play my first minutes after training for a few weeks, so I try to push as hard as possible.
“Every day [something] can happen, so it’s hard to say now where my future will be. In football you never know, especially with me, so let’s see what happens.”
6 things that i’ve seen from watching United vs Lyon:
1. It showed United needs a striker.
2. Mainoo, Mejbri & Diallo should be in the team.. Diallo decision making is WAAYYY BETTER than Antony.
3. Kovar can be the 2nd choice gk after Onana.
4. Mount work rate is OUTSTANDING.
5. Jadon Sancho should be sold, good game vs Lyon but he should move to a team were he’s more comfortable.
6. This game shows why Greenwood is missed, he’s the most natural finisher United have.

Donny van de Beek isn’t done at Man Utd yet! Five things we learned as Dutch midfielder marks return from injury nightmare with great goal in win over Lyon
The team DvB came from at ajax didn’t have a dominant striker and who was the coach. SportsFila could see us not going for a striker in this market unless we get the valuations we are happy with on Hojlund and Muani.
I could see mount, DvB and Bruno all rotate into this strikerless formation, especially if we go for another cm/cdm. plus thats if sancho isn’t starting on the left, antony on the right and rashy not playing as striker.
I’d keep DvB this season and see how he comes back, he was not used with Ole or RaNgnick and i think needed some time to get his confidence back recover from the injury and see if eth will use him again in a similar position as eth starts to get players in that are more to his liking. You got to think before martinez and casemiro and erikson came in, there was very little quick passing possession like we do now, we were very much a counter attacking team.

Fabrizio Romano Confirms When Greenwood Is Returning
Romano confirms Greenwood DATE as Man Utd ponder decision
Man Utd are expected to announce their decision around Mason Greenwood on August 14, according to Fabrizio Romano.
The Italian journalist tweeted that the club will be making their decision public – over whether to loan, keep, or let go of the striker – next month.
Mason Greenwood Breaks Silence on His Man Utd Future
It’s thought that Erik ten Hag will not be responsible for the decision and that it will be up to the club. The announcement will come before Man Utd’s opening Premier League game of the season against Wolves.
There have been a number of serious charges against Greenwood, including attempted rape and assault, which were dropped on 2 February
United’s incoming business is now largely done, and any more arrivals are likely to depend on departures.
There is interest in the likes of Harry Maguire, Scott McTominay, Fred and Donny van de Beek.
Ten Hag Receives Good News About His Next Signing
If there are exits, United are understood to be ready to go into the market to replace them.
Strong interest remains in Fiorentina midfielder Sofyan Amrabat.
Ten Hag said United’s inability to take their chances in a 2-0 friendly loss to Real Madrid on Thursday “absolutely” emphasised their need for a new striker.
United had chances of their own but failed to score with any of their 14 attempts – an all too familiar tale given their problems taking opportunities last season.
Asked if the attacking display in Texas emphasised why they were looking to sign a new striker, Ten Hag said: “Absolutely.
“There were two things – the pressing can be better from the start and scoring goals.

Hojlund Man Utd Debut Date Revealed Breaking News
SportsFila hs been told Hojlund could make his United debut in a friendly against Lens on Saturday and will be available for the start of the competitive season – just as Ten Hag wanted. The Red Devils face Wolves at Old Trafford in their opening Premier League encounter on August 14.
ETH said: Rasmus is not yet fully a United player, so I won’t say too much. Of course, we’ve got [Anthony] Martial, [Marcus] Rashford at the moment and [Jadon] Sancho, who can play there. But an out-and-out striker is what we need and we’re desperate for one. I’m very sure that the club know that, the manager knows that and us players would love one to come, too.”
Eriksen reveals secrets on Man Utd New Star Rasmus Hojland
United had been playing with Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho up front during pre-season after Wout Weghorst returned to Burnley following the expiry of his six-month loan spell. Anthony Martial is the Red Devils’ only senior striker in the squad, but he has struggled with injuries over the past 12 months and hasn’t been available.
Rasmus Hojlund was only Erik ten Hag’s fifth-choice striker when it came to Man Utd transfer targets this summer.
We have learned that the Dutchman wanted Victor Osimhen, Harry Kane, Dusan Vlahovic and Ivan Toney (before he was banned), respectively, but ended up going for Hojlund.
We have also learned that the Dutchman is under a lot of pressure for this transfer to work for the club, with the club spending £72million on the youngster who is set to undergo a medical ahead of a move from Atalanta.
Sky Sports News senior reporter Melissa Reddy:
“United are conscious that Hojlund is more potential than the finished article, but believe Erik ten Hag’s coaching could help mould him into an elite player.
“Marcus Rashford may need to play some games as United’s focal point while the 20-year-old adjusts and gains experience. Long-term he is seen as a talent that has the potential to become world class under Ten Hag.
“United have now solved the three core squad issues the manager identified: a goalkeeper, forward and dynamic midfielder. This has been done within the budget the club set themselves, which was conditioned by Financial Fair Play regulations.

Ten Hag Receives Good News About His Next Signing
Fabrizio Romano has named Amrabat as Man Utd’s top next target for the holding midfield position. However, the transfer guru has insisted Man Utd must sell a player or two before they can act for Amrabat.
On that front, Fred, Scott McTominay and Donny van de Beek are all on the chopping block.
Fred is wanted by Fulham and Galatasaray as well as clubs in Saudi Arabia. Elsewhere, Real Sociedad have eyed Van de Beek as a replacement for the recently retired David Silva.

McTominay was courted by West Ham, though Sky Sports suggested Man Utd have priced the Hammers out of a move.
The Daily Mail reports according to SportsFila.com confirming United have already begun contacting agents over moves for a back-up goalkeeper, a depth option at centre-half and a high profile holding midfielder.
Regarding the latter, Southampton’s Romeo Lavia was cited as being on United’s radar. However, with the Belgian having already agreed personal terms with Liverpool, it’s Sofyan Amrabat who is far likely to join Man Utd
Sofyan Amrabat Manchester United interest grows large
Hojlund medical today and Amrabat says ‘yes’
The Athletic report Rasmus Hojlund will undergo his medical with Manchester United today.
The Danish striker, 20, has agreed a move to Old Trafford from Serie A club Atalanta in a deal worth €75million plus €10million in add-ons.
A five-year deal is on the table, with the option of another year.
Hojlund will become boss Erik ten Hag’s third signing of the summer following Mason Mount and Andre Onana’s moves to Manchester.

Rasmus could be quickly followed by the fourth, with Fiorentina midfielder Sofyan Amrabat said to have rejected late advances from the Middle East and said ‘yes’ to the Red Devils.
Twenty-six-year-old Amrabat worked under ten Hag at FC Utrecht and at £26million looks to be a bargain signing after the Morocco star impressed at last year’s World Cup.
His arrival could see Fred leave the club, with interest from clubs in Turkey.
