Lampard reveals Man Utd loanee van de Beek loving life at Everton

Frank Lampard says Donny van de Beek is loving life at Everton.

The Manchester United midfielder joined Everton on a short-term loan last month.

Lampard has started van de Beek in Everton's last three Premier League games, and he has hailed the Dutchman's quality ahead of the FA Cup fifth-round clash with Boreham Wood.

Asked about van de Beek's substitution against Manchester City last weekend, Lampard said: "We're hoping it's cramp. It doesn't look too bad.

"If it is cramp, it's no wonder, because he hadn't been playing too regularly and it was a big physical output game for a midfield player.

"He played very well again. He is loving being here, you can sense that. He's loving his teammates and they've really taken to him.

"He is a really intelligent player and works hard – the fans love him for that – so let's hope he's alright."
