The situation of Donny van de Beek at Manchester United worries the analysts Rondo to care. In the talk show of Ziggo Sport On Sunday evening, the midfielder will dwell on the lack of playing time, who remained on the bench in the Premier League for the first time this season for ninety minutes in the game against Chelsea (0-0).

Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer took a central block with Fred and Scott McTominay in midfield, while Bruno Fernandes is the undisputed number 10. Daniel James and Juan Mata operated from the flanks. “I would really be concerned”, says Jan van Halst about Van de Beek. “Last year Solskjaer always played with Fred and McTominay and he is now putting them up again. Van de Beek is just eating his nose.”

“He doesn’t even come in. He’s on the couch for ninety minutes”, Youri Mulder remarks to his disappointment. Marco van Basten thinks that Van de Beek’s career is currently taking a hit. “It is very bad for such a boy to only play six or seven times in a year. That is bad for your rhythm. You can earn a lot more, but you also have to look where you can play.”

Presenter Jack van Gelder notes that Van de Beek has signed a contract for five seasons and therefore does not have to have a basic place right away. “Is that why? I think that’s a bit of bullshit”, Van Basten countered. “Then you should not go to Manchester United, but wait or go to another club. You have to want to play football every week. If you choose such a club for the money and play five to ten games a year, then it is bad. for your career. He should have come here in about three years. “
