Dimitar Berbatov requests Donny van de Beek to leave Old Trafford

Donny van de Beek is unhappy at Manchester United.

The 24-year old joined the Red Devils from Ajax last summer in a £35million deal.

Since then he has failed to nail a starting place and has fallen down the pecking order in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s starting XI.

Former United striker Dimitar Berbatov believes the Dutch midfielder should push for a move this summer.

He told Betfair: “I don’t think we’re going to see any more playing time from Donny van de Beek.

“It’s a really strange, disappointing and surprising situation. They spent around £35million on him and, to pay that for a player who isn’t starting many games, doesn’t make sense.

“I’m not blaming the player at all, but for me, it’s one of the most disappointing transfers ever.”

“He’s got a lot of quality,” Berbatov said.

“But I don’t like it when clubs buy for the sake of buying, and this is one of those situations. I’m sure he’s banging on the manager’s door and asking questions.

“I think if he’s not happy, Van de Beek should push to leave. His place in the national team is at risk, especially now with Louis van Gaal in charge. Van Gaal is a disciplinarian who likes his players to play football.

“Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes are untouchable in the United midfield at the moment. Scott McTominay, Fred and even 33-year-old Nemanja Matic are ahead of van de Beek.”
