Van de Beek upbeat after joining Man Utd preseason training

Manchester United midfielder Donny van de Beek is enjoying his return to preseason training.

The Dutchman had a very hard time last term, struggling to play regularly after signing from Ajax last summer.

As he returned to first team training in pre-season, following an injury which kept him out of the Netherlands' Euro 2020 campaign, Van de Beek was seen smiling and laughing with his teammates during a group session.

He posted a picture of himself holding off defender Axel Tuanzebe with the ball approaching, accompanied by the caption: "Good to be back."

According to ESPN, United may play a more attacking midfield this season, which would open up opportunities for Van de Beek to play regularly.
