Manchester United midfielder Donny van de Beek has officially joined Everton on a short-term loan.

The Dutchman has not started once in the Premier League this season but will now get an opportunity to impress at Goodison Park.

Van de Beek, 24, was also linked with Crystal Palace.

"Now I can say I am an Everton player, I am really happy and can't wait to help the team," Van de Beek told evertontv.

"I think it is a great club… there are really good players here and I came because I want to help them go up the table.

"I hope to bring my football qualities, my passing, and, of course, scoring goals. It is a big part of my game to score and give assists and I will try to do that again. And it is not only offensive, you have to defend as a midfielder and I can do that as well."
