Ole Gunnar Solskjaer addresses Donny van de Beek’s frsutration.
The Dutch international has failed to nail a starter role in Solskjaer’s XI since his arrival from Ajax in the summer of 2020.
He has started four Premier League games for the Red Devils and was recently left on the bench in their recent win against Villarreal.
The midfielder expressed his frustration by throwing down his training bib and his chewing gum when Fred was given a chance ahead of him to come on as a substitution.
Solskjaer said the incident: “You know, I manage a squad full of international footballers, competitive footballers who want to make a difference, who want to play. They all want to be on the pitch, of course they do.
“Donny was ready to come on, as all players should be. I’ve been a sub more than anyone in this club probably – I must have a record for appearances as a sub – and you have to be ready all the time. I’ve been not very happy a few times but that is the decision the manager makes.
“Alex [Telles] was coming off as a left-back and Fred did that job well. So I understand the frustration, of course, every player is keen to play, that’s got to be built into energy and some determination for when you get on and then show me.
“It’s not just Donny, it’s all of the players. I’ve got a squad of internationals and if we’re going to be successful together we know we need positive energy, we can’t have energy-sappers or sulkers.”
