Donny van de Beek has no objection to a role as a left winger at Manchester United. The summer acquisition from Ajax may have a preference for the position of central or attacking midfielder, but according to the Manchester Evening News willing to ‘play wherever Ole Gunnar Solskjaer needs him’. At the beginning of this month, Solskjaer hinted at a roll on the flanks for his pupil.

Due to ‘the lesser form of Paul Pogba’, the newspaper takes into account that Van de Beek can get his first base place in the Premier League on Saturday evening in the away game against Newcastle United. While his competitor is out of shape, Van de Beek scored another goal for the Dutch national team against Italy (1-1) in Bergamo on Wednesday evening. In the past two league matches, Solskjaer has opted for a 4-2-3-1 system with Nemanja Matic and Pogba as controllers and with Mason Greenwood, Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford in the line.

However, changes in the line-up are quite conceivable after Manchester United’s painful 1-6 defeat against Tottenham Hotspur, just before the international match. For example, there is a chance that left back Luke Shaw will be relieved by Alex Telles, who came over from FC Porto on the final day of the transfer market. The purchase of at least fifteen million euros is fit, but only joined the group of players of his new club on Thursday. Shaw is in lesser shape, making a base spot for Telles at St James Park a possibility.

According to the Manchester Evening News Solskjaer thinks about putting Van de Beek as a disguised left winger. Telles could cover the entire left flank and thus ensure that Van de Beek has a freer role. At the beginning of this month, Solskjaer admitted that he sees Van de Beek playing on the flank. “He’s not the same type as Daniel James or Marcus Rashford on the left, but if he can pull in and find the space … Why not? He can walk in many different positions on the feet. He does me to myself sometimes. think: right, left, center forward, number 10: Donny is a player who always wants a trainer in his squad. “
