Van de Beek outlines ambitions for next season under Ten Hag, admits Man Utd need to 'improve'
Donny van de Beek has set out his ambitions for next season at Manchester United under new manager Erik ten Hag.
Van de Beek was previously managed by Ten Hag during their time together at Ajax.
Man Utd have paid a fee of up to £40million to bring the midfielder to the Premier League ahead of the 2020/21 campaign.
Is Anthony Martial better suited to Manchester United than Ronaldo?
The Dutchman has played a minor role for Man Utd for the past two seasons. He has only played 27 times in the Premier League.
The 25-year-old had a brief loan spell at Everton last season but has now returned to United ahead of next season.
Van de Beek has now found Ten Hag. He looks set to be a key player for Man Utd in the future.
The central midfielder insisted he was 'really happy' to be back at United:
"[United] is a huge club with a lot of fans and it's always a special feeling to wear the shirt," Van de Beek told the club's official website.< /p>
"For me too, I'm really happy to be back.
"From my experience, I think [Everton's loan] was good. Obviously I was a bit unlucky with my injuries.
"I missed a lot of games but to have that experience... it was not an easy season for the team, because we played to avoid relegation, which is not what you want for a club like Everton, but overall it was a good experience to be there.”
When asked about his goals for next season, he added: "I think I'm going to save as many minutes personally as possible.
"I think we have to improve as a team. If you look at last season, we have a lot of things to improve. If we work on it now, we'll see where we end up.
"We will fight for everything."
Elsewhere, Leeds United are reportedly 'interested' in signing Juan Mata after his contract at Manchester United expires.
He has yet to find a new club, but according to Spanish outlet AS, Leeds are "interested" in him.
Leeds manager Victor Orta is said to have 'contacted' Mata's father to discuss the transfer.
The report adds that "negotiations are slow, but both parties want to complete the transfer".
So far, Leeds are the only club to submit a 'concrete offer' for Mata. Although Besiktas and several Spanish clubs like him.
