Donny van de Beek was sent on loan to Everton in January as he was not seen in the immediate plans of Manchester United and Ralf Rangnick sought to give him the game time he desired.
Van de Beek was underused by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and his irritation was clear for every United fan to see at the side of the pitch with every matchday that passed as he received limited minutes.
It was widely reported that the main reason for his omission was his inability to adapt to the pace and physicality of the league since he arrived from Ajax, which meant that he couldn't be played as a number 10 and certainly couldn't be played in the pivot.
