UNCOVERED: What Solskjaer really thinks of Man Utd outcast Van de Beek

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is convinced Donny van de Beek can still has a future at Old Trafford.

The Dutchman, 24, has made just four Premier League starts since joining the club in September 2020 and it's thought some United coaches are concerned about his suitability to the English game.

But the Athletic reports senior figures at United - including Solskjaer - believe Van de Beek can be a success in Manchester but others are worried he can't handle the 'rough and tumble' of the Premier League.

The £35million midfielder has played just five minutes of top flight football this term and has been linked with a January transfer to Italian giants Juventus.

Newcastle and Everton are also monitoring Van de Beek's situation.
