Manchester United outcast Donny van de Beek has broken his silence on his situation at the club.

The Dutchman has struggled with life at the Red Devils since arriving from Ajax three summers ago.

Van de Beek is not likely to go to the World Cup with the Netherlands, as he has only recently returned to action with United.

"To be injured is always the most difficult thing for a player," he told MUTV.

"You want to be on the pitch, you want to be around the guys in the stadium; you want to feel the grass; and it is a hard time if you are injured.

"I'm happy to be back, and I have to stay fit now for a longer time and just try to help the team."
