Paul Scholes makes Donny van de Beek admission and highlights weakness of Manchester United star

Paul Scholes says the jury is still out on Donny van de Beek after the Dutchman was afforded a rare start for Manchester United against Real Sociedad on Thursday night.

After recovering from an injury setback, former Ajax player Van de Beek was named in the United starting XI for the first time by Erik ten Hag. He had only played a combined total of 30 minutes this season prior to the trip to Spain.

Van de Beek signed for United in 2020 and his lack of opportunities at Old Trafford have been well-documented. However, the 25-year-old was finally given his chance in United's final Europa League group stage game of the season.
