Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has golden chance to keep Donny van de Beek promise

Manchester United have the perfect chance to keep their promise for Donny van de Beek - with Bruno Fernandes suspended for the upcoming Premier League fixture vs Aston Villa.

Fernandes, 28, will miss the trip to Villa Park on Sunday afternoon (2pm) after picking up his fifth yellow card of the season when United overcame West Ham. Marcus Rashford scored the winner in that game as Fernandes was given a caution in the dying embers at Old Trafford.

It means Erik ten Hag will be without his first-choice number 10 - but does that mean Van de Beek will finally get a chance to underline his credentials? His lack of minutes since moving to the club from Ajax two summers ago have been well-documented, while the Dutchman has only just recovered from an injury setback.
