Manchester United star Donny van de Beek shares rare recovery update after serious knee injury

Manchester United midfielder Donny van de Beek has shared an encouraging update on his rehabilitation from a serious knee injury that has ruled him out for the rest of the season.

The Netherlands international, who has struggled to live up to expectations since joining United from Dutch giants Ajax in September 2020, suffered the blow during the first half of the Reds' 3-0 win over Bournemouth at Old Trafford on January 3. Van de Beek's leg buckled under a challenge from Cherries defender Marcos Senesi.

It was confirmed the following week by United manager Erik ten Hag that the midfielder would miss the remainder of the campaign, but the Dutchman did announce that the former Ajax ace had not ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL).
