Erik ten Hag 'will never give the Man Utd star a chance again' as he was 'let go' - 'it's over!'

It has been suggested that Erik ten Hag will 'never' 'give' a Man Utd player 'a second chance again' as the Dutchman has been 'hugely disappointed'.

The player referred to here is United midfielder Donny van de Beek.

The Dutchman made a name for himself at Ajax and it was there that he first worked with Ten Hag.

His form for Ajax landed him a £40million move to Man Utd, but that move didn't work out for anyone.

Before this season, Van de Beek was used sparingly by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and he spent the end of the 2020/21 campaign on loan at Everton.

Ten Hag took over at United in the summer and it was hoped he would get the best out of Van de Beek again.

But he has struggled with injuries and his only starts of the season came last week in games against Real Sociedad and Aston Villa.

The central midfielder was taken off in the 65th minute against Aston Villa as United went down 3-1.

Club legend Rio Ferdinand claimed Van de Beek "didn't take his chance".

Now Dutch analyst Johan Derksen has suggested the 25-year-old's Man Utd career is almost over.

"I was watching Aston Villa v Manchester United and then Erik ten Hag made a big mistake putting [Christian] Eriksen and Donny van de Beek in midfield together," Derksen told Vandaag Inside.

"Eriksen may have played a nice pass and done nothing else, but Donny van de Beek delivered a poor performance. He had no input. He walked all over the pitch and been replaced.

"They fell underground because of players who can only do something with the ball."

He added: "It's over for van de Beek, whom Ten Hag will never give a chance now. He [Van de Beek] obviously let him down tremendously."

Paul Parker is also concerned about Van de Beek as he fears United are "too big a club for him".

"Donny van de Beek is one of those players who looked good in an Ajax team during this Champions League period, but Manchester United are the biggest club in the world," said Parker told IndiaBetting.

"He came there and he suddenly realized that it was too big a club for him. He just arrived like a rabbit in the headlamps.

"The club were in turmoil when they bought Van de Beek and during his time at United he was mixed up with all the different managers. He came at the wrong time.

"He came to the club at a time when fruits and vegetables were mixed in the same dish, and it's not really working, is it? There was no organization and that's a real shame , because he looks like a lovely boy."
