He scored on his debut in a 3-1 loss against Crystal Palace but after playing under multiple managers and not hitting the form, he found it hard to pick a favourite moment at Old Trafford.

“That’s a hard one. Many, many games – I can’t say really one. Most of the time, it’s an amazing atmosphere in the stadium, when we play at home. And the away fans as well. I have to say, every time, you can hear them, even in the game, and that’s a good sign and a nice feeling.” he added.

End of the road for VdB?

Sports Brief earlier reported that France midfielder Adrien Rabiot said he wants a Premier League move despite a failed transfer to Manchester United in the summer.

This could spell the end of the road for Van de Beek who Manchester United would be willing to move on if a good offer arrives.

Erik Ten Hag under whom the Dutch midfielder blossomed at Ajax has also found it hard to trust him with minutes amidst his struggles and injuries.
