The Dutch midfielder joined the Red Devils from the Dutch side on a five year contract in early September as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer moved to bolster his squad ahead of the new campaign.
Van de Beek is yet to make a Premier League start for the Red Devils and he was left on the bench as an unused substitute during Manchester United’s goalless draw with Chelsea FC on Saturday night.
The 23-year-old has only made four appearances for Manchester United from the bench in the Premier League this season as he bids to try and win a regular spot in the team.
Now, Dutch legend Van Basten has claimed that Van de Beek should have carefully assessed his chances of featuring regularly at Manchester United before completing a move to Old Trafford in the summer.
