Man Utd hero Hughes: Teammates don't trust Van de Beek

Manchester United hero Mark Hughes believes Donny van de Beek isn't trusted by his teammates.

The Dutchman has struggled to make an impact this season with just one goal and one assist from his 25 appearances.

Hughes told talkSPORT: "You just sense… it looks like they don't trust him with the ball yet.

"When the likes of Fred and Matic look up and they see Rashford, they see Martial, they see Greenwood, who is still a young player but has great talent, it's like they defer to them, their first thought is to pass to them.

"Van de Beek, I haven't seen a great deal of movement, I haven't seen little movements to get in pockets of space, even though you suspect that's the player he is and those are the areas he wants to work in.

"He's been disappointing again. He's playing for Manchester United, a huge club, he's got to show more than he's showing at the moment."
