Jaap Stam has questioned his former club Manchester United’s use of Donny van de Beek and hopes that Everton will be able to deploy the Dutchman more effectively.
Van de Beek joined Everton on transfer deadline day in a loan move until the end of the season after the Blues had previously tried to obtain his services on the final day of last summer’s window.
The 24-year-old is ineligible to play against Brentford in this Saturday’s FA Cup tie at Goodison Park having turned out as a substitute for United against Aston Villa in the previous round but he could make his debut in the crucial Premier League clash at Newcastle United next Tuesday.
