Donny van de Beek would push for a move out of Old Trafford in January when the transfer window would open once more after Van de Beek has hit a new low with the Red Devils against Villarreal. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer overlooked Van de Beek and choose to go with Jesse Lingard and Fred in the 89th minute of the match. The sit-out is getting frustrating for him as the player has remained a constant sight on the bench ever since he joined from Ajax for £40million 12 months ago.
Solskjaer’s decision to bring in Lingard was accurate as he set up Ronaldo for a last-minute win against Villareal. The 24-year-old had almost secured a move to Everton in the last transfer window but United blocked the deal condemning the player to another four months of frustrating bench time.
