Donny van de Beek's time at Manchester United has fallen so spectacularly short of what just about everyone expected, but that doesn't impact the love he has for the Red Devils.
Signed in the summer of 2020 for a fee of around £40million from Ajax, the Netherlands international failed to ever earn a regular run of games under the guidance of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and it was a similar story during Ralf Rangnick's interim reign.
Many hoped that if anyone could get the best out of Van de Beek at Old Trafford, it was his old Ajax boss Erik ten Hag. Yet, eight months into the Dutchman's debut campaign at the helm, the midfielder remains just as far away from the first-team fold.
