De Boer: Van de Beek feels he can make it at Man Utd

Manchester United midfielder Donny van de Beek has no plans to return to former club Ajax.

Former Ajax star Ronald de Boer insists the Dutchman isn't interested in the option.

The Dutch legend told talkSPORT 2: "I spoke to Ajax and they said there's no truth in it at all.

"He's just focusing on his recovery on his ankle, and it's not true that he asked Man United to leave."

De Boer added: "He's not worried, of course he wants to play every game. But he's not worried that he can't succeed.

"He has to have a review after this year, asking where do I stand? Do I have a possibility to succeed here or not? Otherwise, I have to make a move.

"We will see where he's heading next year, maybe he stays at Man United or maybe another club is interesting for him.

"But he's not panicking at all, he told his agent he's so happy at Man United because the club is one of the best in terms of how they treat him, he feels loved."
