The end of next month will mark the one-year anniversary of, arguably, the lowest ebb of Donny van de Beek's Manchester United career.
After being thrashed 5-0 by Liverpool six days earlier, United travelled to the capital to face Tottenham Hotspur in the Saturday evening kick-off a day before Halloween, with the hope of avoiding another nightmare. It was a must-win game for former manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and he was expected to ring mass changes after what had happened at Old Trafford the previous weekend.
In fact, Solskjaer opted to make just two changes, choosing to revert to a back-three. It meant that Raphael Varane came into the side, forming a three-man defence with Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof.
