Donny! 🙂 Casemiro/VDB = The perfect midfield pairing imo.
Squad depth is really important for the season, so it’s nice to see the injured players return, although many fans wouldn’t mind if Maguire still remains on the side line for a little longer period.
A dream does not become a reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination, and hard work…..
Poor Donny. Ole killed his World Cup dream, Man U have nearly killed his career. We’ve probably killed his spirit too. Sorry lad…
Next season we don’t want to play. Europe League again, giants !!!!!
Ten hag and Van de Beek issues at United
Even when he was fit, Donny van de Beek has struggled for game time and form since the start of the season with Erik ten Hag preferring to use five other Manchester United midfielders.
Van de Beek’s start to life in Manchester didn’t exactly go to plan as he made just three Premier League starts during his first season at the Red Devils, featuring 16 times off the bench. It was a similar theme last season, but the Netherlands international thought his fortunes may change when he joined Everton on loan in January.
Lampard’s Everton Signed Van de Beek on loan in mid 2022
After the outgoing Interim boss Ralf Rangnick, perhaps Van de Beek was thinking he might get a new lease of life at the Red Devils. Paul Pogba, Jesse Lingard and Nemanja Matic had all left the club in the summer, leaving space for the likes of Van de Beek to fill in the United midfield.
Fast forward to October ending and Van de Beek is yet to make a start for Ten Hag’s United, playing just 19 minutes of football since the start of the season. He has been preferred in midfield by Fred, Scott McTominay, Christian Eriksen, Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro, with all five featuring more often so far this term.
Short of graduating from the Manchester United Academy, there can be few better places to hone your skills as an aspiring footballer than at Ajax.
Biography of Man Utd midfielder Donny van de Beek
It was at his boyhood club that van de Beek made his name on the world scene, as part of the thrilling Ajax side that reached the 2018/19 Champions League semi-finals.
Though joining United at the relatively tender age of 23, his Ajax education meant he already possessed a polished all-round game and a wealth of experience.
Born on 18 April 1997 in Nijkerkerveen, the Netherlands, van de Beek began his football story with local side Veensche Boys and was later invited to join the famous Ajax academy in August 2014.
New father Donny Van de Beek made his debut for the club’s reserve team, Jong Ajax, in January 2015 and, two months later, he was placed on the first-team bench for an Eredivisie match against ADO Den Haag.
At the end of 2014/15, Van de Beek won the AFC Ajax Talent of the Future award, to join a list of previous winners that includes Rafael van der Vaart, Wesley Sneijder, Daley Blind and Christian Eriksen.
His first-team debut arrived in November 2015, in a UEFA Europa League match against Celtic, and he finished the 2015/16 season with 10 senior appearances to his name. His first goal, coincidentally, was scored against Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s Molde, a month after his debut.

There is NO REASON for Gareth Southgate to be linked with the Manchester United job
Gareth Southgate is the only person in the Universe who can turn Manchester United into Middlesbrough within no time
The English media is trying all their best to push Southgate to united, but he is championship level manager at best
The England national team is waay better than this Manu squad, and he has had 0 success ( reaching semis ain’t success). So what exactly are people expecting if he becomes Manu boss
Absolutely no way! Why would Man U hire Southgate? That would be the worse decision in the history of the game.
ETH outwitted Klopp last weekend in one of the best and most dramatic FA cup clashes in years and I’m sorry but Southgate would not have won that game and ETH has had to deal with Ronaldo, Sancho, Greenwood and so on, he deserves more time

I have been saying this for weeks now. If United were under any other manager especially Southgate, they would be fighting for relegation right now. The problem at United is not Ten Hag but the players.
People keep saying that Ten Hag’s style of football at United is not attractive and no identity but there is so much that a manager can do if the players themselves are not good enough or not putting enough effort. Ten Hag’s Ajax were playing attractive football and he managed to get them to the SF of the CL.
Without him, look at Ajax now. And the media keep pushing their agenda to get Ten Hag sack and replace him with a much worse manager like Southgate. If Ten Hag is managing England right now, with the players they have, we won’t see such a passive football like we saw yesterday vs Brazil. Ask Liverpool fans, would they replace Klopp with Southgate? I rest my case.
- Ten Hag Says Man United Are on Track
- Liverpool blame themselves for FA Cup loss to Man United
- Man United searching for Erik ten Hag replacement
Liverpool only have themselves to blame for loss to Manchester United. Had to find a way to squeeze in the random Bruno slag off in between. Dude was dead on his feet at full time, and had to slot in to center back for the last 30 minutes.
SportsFila reflect on Manchester United’s 4-3 win over Liverpool in the FA Cup Quarterfinals and look ahead to the semifinals where Erik ten Hag’s side will take on Coventry.
How come everybody seems to have forgotten that 2 of LFC’s goals were pure luck?
More shots, same shots on goal, higher goal expectancy. What is this narrative that Liverpool should have put this game away, if anything we should’ve put this game away! They had a good 20, 25 minute stint where they kept the ball in the second half, but did nothing with it, we deservedly won this game.

For Liverpool fans: don’t say that we lost to Manchester United because Jota Trent Alisson and jones didn’t play. We have to stop doing that every time a team loses a big game it’s very stupid because had you won, you wouldn’t be saying that. Don’t forget that when y’all drew 0-0 to them at home Trent Alisson and Jones started. Keep in mind how well they’ve been playing despite having lots of injuries they almost beat Manchester City’s full strength squad last week.
Also, you lose to Manchester United, 2 fringe players for them decided the game for them, Liverpool didn’t play well and a loss is a loss you have to accept it otherwise you’re a sole loser and are unwilling to take it.
It’s interesting how nothing much is said about the mistakes made by Liverpool, but all criticism is piled on Bruno; how supposedly poor he was.
Ten Hag claims United is moving in the right direction 👀 WHAT DIRECTION IS THAT?!
Every time he speaks after a dismal performance after the match I always sit there saying to myself “What on Earth are you talking about”.
The media trying so hard to get ETH sacked…..when liverpool had bad injuries with VVD out, y’all didnt have the same energy
Most fans want ETH out because of his poor tactics and substitutions. I also felt he should be braver to drop non-performing players irrespective of names, and even play academy players if he has to.
Now I’m ETH in because I realise from Rooney’s and Ole’s recent interviews that the mentality of these players are incredibly low and it’s no longer just speculation that the players can’t cope on this stage.
I can understand ETH saying positive things and coming off as “crazy” but if you have players who are weak minded and aren’t willing to fight, you can’t be tough cos they’ll cave and where does that leave you for the rest of the season?! Jason Sancho case in point. I rather come across as insane to the media but hope that I’m lifting the team enough to get a string of performances to save my job and give the fans at least something to cheer about until I can have a summer clear out.
Keane is a freaking legend but that approach with these weak players will kill them and ETH would lose the dressing room.
This man keeps dropping off bombs on and off the field..A gift that keeps on giving..Most delulu man on this green earth
What a GIFT! Hand him a 15 years contract and 5 years add ons
The problem for Utd in recruiting an elite manager in the Summer is that Liverpool, Bayern and Barca will also be looking for new managers.
From the moment I heard “A new era begins. .” from ETH. I knew it was the joke of the century. He has the guts to say it while Klopp/Guardiola are competing against each other by 1 point in the Primer league he acted like he can compete with them ro
