Erik ten Hag has confirmed he is looking forward to working with Donny van de Beek at Manchester United.
Van de Beek rose to prominence as one of Europe's most exciting young midfielders at Ajax under Ten Hag. Van de Beek played an instrumental role in Ajax reaching the 2018/19 Champions League semi-final and he flourished under the Dutchman's tutelage.
Ten Hag reluctantly sold Van de Beek to United in 2020 and the player was expected to continue his progress at Old Trafford. Van de Beek's career has regressed instead and he was sent out on loan to Everton in January in search of regular minutes.
