Manchester United midfielder Donny van de Beek would like to play in an advanced position.

Van de Beek has suggested that his best position in the United side is in an attacking role.

"It [playing an attacking role] is also one of the points how I can maybe help the team, play in between the lines and make my runs with the ball, give some passes. I just do my best and have to stay fit and just help the team," he told club media.

The Netherlands international also admitted that it had been difficult watching his teammates from the sidelines, but insisted that his situation was slightly different to other players.

Van de Beek added: "Yes [it's been hard], especially for some of the other guys who have played so many games. I was out for a while so, for me, it's a little bit different."
