Man Utd boss Erik ten Hag sends Donny van de Beek blunt message about their Ajax past

Erik ten Hag has warned Donny van de Beek their past relationship counts for nothing now they have been reunited at Manchester United.

Ten Hag and van de Beek worked together at Ajax for two-and-a-half years, winning titles, before the midfielder moved to United in 2020 in a £40million deal. Van de Beek has endured a miserable two years at United, making just 50 appearances and scoring just twice for the Red Devils.

The 25-year-old went on loan to Everton for the second half of last season but failed to impress there, scoring just once in 12 appearances. Now back at United and working with ten Hag again, Van de Beek hopes he can finally prove himself there, nail down a regular spot and win back his Holland place in time for the World Cup.
