Donny van de Beek: Damning video of Everton man 'always being ignored' at Man Utd

Donny van de Beek has finally been unshackled from his Manchester United limbo.

While the arrival of the Ajax protege in 2020 admittedly felt like overkill given the presence of Bruno Fernandes and Paul Pogba, nobody could have anticipated just how little game time he would be given.

Although Van de Beek was never world-beating when he took to the pitch for United, he added an inordinately high amount of quality, ambition and dynamism for how starved of minutes he was nevertheless.

As such, there were hardly many fans who batted an eyelid when Van de Beek marked the first Premier League start of his loan move to Everton by producing a stellar performance against Leeds United.
