Derksen: Van de Beek has blown it with Man Utd

Donny van de Beek fluffed his Manchester United chance in defeat at Aston Villa on Sunday.

That's according to Dutch pundit John Derksen.

Van de Beek was handed a rare start in the weekend's outing at Aston Villa but was hooked off after 65 minutes with United 3-1 down.

And it could mean he will not play in a Red Devils shirt again believes Dutch analyst Derksen.

He said: "I was watching Aston Villa v Manchester United and then Erik ten Hag made a big mistake by putting [Christian] Eriksen and Donny van de Beek in midfield together.

"Eriksen may have played a nice pass and done nothing else, but Donny van de Beek delivered a poor performance. He had no input whatsoever. He walked all over the pitch and was substituted.

"It's over for Van de Beek, who Ten Hag will never give another to chance now. He has obviously let him down tremendously."
