Donny Van De Beek Has Already Made Decision On Manchester United Future

"In the last 20 minutes I felt it was a long time ago that I played a full game, and I was a little bit tired! But it was an amazing day and a good start for me. We really needed this."

"It's like a new start," van de Beek said after joining the club. "This gives me a lot of energy and, you know, if you see the way the club is on the table, they want to go up.

"Me also as a player, I want to go again to show what I can do. I think this combination is good."

"Players realised they wouldn't get game time and the atmosphere is better than it used to be a couple of weeks ago," he said.

"Now, for us it's about performing well, showing togetherness on the pitch, winning games and those are the things we can influence."

“I'm really impressed,” the Everton manager said.

“On a professional level, since speaking to him and coming and seeing him train and play, absolutely impressed with his fitness, his game sharpness, but when you watch him train it doesn’t surprise you.

“When I think back to the time he’s had at Manchester United, he's a top level player. He was when Manchester United signed him, he was at Ajax when I went up against him.

“To have a tough time is not easy, there’s different ways of reacting. I’m sure it was tough, and he shows that if you keep your counsel, keep your head down and keep working in the right way, there's always a way through it, and people will always respect you for that.

“Now hopefully there’s a chance for him to just show his talent on a regular basis, and that’s what I hope to see.”
