Ex-Ajax star Swart: Van de Beek better suited to Liverpool than Man Utd

Former Ajax star Sjaak Swart says Donny van de Beek is better suited to Liverpool than Manchester United.

Van de Beek has struggled at United since his summer arrival from Ajax a year ago.

Swart said on Veronica Inside: "He played really great at Ajax, until he left. He was ready for abroad. But at United they have 8 or 9 midfielders, and you have to intervene, then it takes time.

"That is a choice [about his future] he has to make himself, whether he feels like he needs to leave. I am not worried about him."

“He would fit right in with other clubs. If I look at Liverpool and (Gini) Wijnaldum is leaving now, he will be a wonderful replacement. Or for Thomas Müller, at Bayern Munich"
