Ole Gunnar Solskjaer joked about a recent Donny Van de Beek incident when quizzed by a Dutch broadcaster, though did admit the midfielder is “not happy” and “frustrated”.
Manchester United once again came from behind to secure a late victory at Old Trafford on Wednesday night. United’s players were visibly overjoyed at the final whistle, though one player who yet again played no part was Van de Beek.
The Dutchman’s nightmare in Manchester shows no signs of abating. Despite constant chopping and changing in Solskjaer’s midfield, Van de Beek is rarely given a look-in. Indeed, he was registered just 141 minutes of action this season, with 90 of those coming in the EFL Cup.
Van de Beek’s frustrations were visible three weeks ago when spotted throwing his chewing gum in the direction of Man Utd’s dugout. The incident came after Jesse Lingard was chosen to come on from the bench against Villarreal instead of the Dutchman.
