Donny van de Beek has admitted he has something to prove at Everton having endured a frustrating 18 months at Manchester United.
The midfielder joined the Toffees on deadline day of the January transfer window, making the move on loan to Goodison Park until the end of the season as he looks to finally make his mark on the Premier League. Since arriving at United in 2020, the Netherlands international has been struggled for game-time but has a new lease of life on Merseyside now.
Van de Beek rarely got a look-in under former manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, and his predicament didn’t improve upon the arrival of Ralf Rangnick as interim manager. Having come close to making a move out loan last summer, the 24-year-old finally got the chance to head out to Everton earlier this year.
