Netherlands manager Frank De Boer is not too concerned with the situation of Donny van de Beek at Manchester United.

The midfielder has been a bit part player for the Red Devils since arriving from Ajax in the summer.

Van de Beek has only played a total of 75 Premier League minutes, which is a concern. But De Boer is not worried about the 23-year-old for now.

He told reporters: "I can't hug him right now of course! I try to give him as much confidence as possible, which I showed by starting him against Italy.

"I think he did well in the games he played, I saw him a few times at United. He's doing well, but they have a great midfield with [Bruno] Fernandes, [Paul] Pogba, Fred, [Scott] McTominay and [Nemanja] Matic.

"It's difficult, but I'm sure he will play his minutes. I can understand he wants to feature more frequently, but on the other hand, it's always normal that you have to adapt when you go to a new league.

"Let's hope he will get his playing time. I am happy that he's well-rested. We can use him here."
