Donny van de Beek has had it tough since joining Manchester United, but he could finally be set to receive a reprieve from Erik ten Hag - just as Ralf Rangnick predicted earlier this year.
Van de Beek was, surprisingly, used sparingly by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after arriving at the club in a £35million deal from Ajax back in 2020, and the Dutchman's fortunes failed to improve after Rangnick succeeded the Norwegian on an interim basis midway through last year's Premier League campaign.
In fact, Van de Beek arguably became even more of a peripheral figure at Old Trafford during Rangnick's brief tenure and was even farmed out on loan to Everton for the second half of last season by the former United chief.
