Former Manchester United star who revealed why Van de Beek doesn't play for the team

After a wonderful season in Ajax, the Dutch player was linked with Real Madrid, but that never happens so he decided to stay one more year. After another season, Manchester United sings him almost at the end of the transfer window, was this the right decision for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer team?

According to the ex-Manchester United midfielder Owen Hargreaves, no. He said that Donny was not playing for Manchester United because the club had made a mistake in singing the wrong individual. And that is true, the principal target for Red Devils was Jadon Sancho.

Paul Pogba, Scott McTominay, Fred, Nemanja Matic, did the Red Devils really need another center-midfielder? Hargreaves said that the $45 million investment on Van de Beek was unnecessary, they did that just to buy a player. And he added that this would never happen at Manchester City.

If they were looking for a midfielder to play more offensive, they could use Bruno Fernandez, Juan Mata and also Pogba. Anyway, the reasons were a bit weird for such an expensive player and a prospect like the 23-year-old Dutch player that now is sitting on the bench.
