Donny van de Beek has enjoyed only 19 minutes of football this season having sat out the last four matches.
The Dutchman was tipped to flourish under old Ajax boss Erik ten Hag but it’s not quite been the reunion many had hoped for. Injury curtailed the midfielder gaining any consistency during his loan at Everton meaning he’s not experienced regular competitive game time for a long while.
Pre-season checked this trend when he featured in all six friendlies, but he has failed to start a match this campaign and the arrivals of Christian Eriksen and Casemiro reduce such chances further.
