Donny van de Beek slammed for taking 'five years' to make a pass in Aston Villa vs Man United

Donny van de Beek Van de Beek Villa Aston Villa Erik ten Hag Ten Hag Manchester United Marcus Rashford Bruno Fernandes Clinton Morrison

Former Premier League striker Clinton Morrison has slammed Donny van de Beek for his first-half performance in Manchester United's clash with Aston Villa.

Erik ten Hag's side were stunned by the home team as Villa scored twice inside the opening 11 minutes, thanks to goals from Leon Bailey and Lucas Digne. Former Arsenal manager Unai Emery would have been delighted with his new club's start, as they put United under pressure from the outset.

Bruno Fernandes was ruled out of the clash against Villa after he picked up his fifth booking of the season during the 1-0 win against West Ham, subsequently receiving a one-match ban as punishment. Ten Hag decided to turn to his former Ajax man to replace the Portuguese midfielder, yet Van de Beek failed to have the desired impact on the match.
