Donny van de Beek was set to join Everton on transfer deadline day, but Manchester United retained him and he played against Newcastle.
Donny van de Beek is 'working hard to break into Manchester United's first team, according to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Despite the absence of Scott McTominay and the late arrival of Fred, Van de Beek made his season debut as a late substitute in the 4-1 win over Newcastle.
Van de Beek was signed by Manchester United last summer, although he only appeared four times in the Premier League last season and was left out of Louis van Gaal's first Netherlands squad. United will kick off their Champions League campaign against Young Boys in Bern on Tuesday, but Van de Beek may not be able to make the starting eleven.
According to Solskjaer, Donny is a member of the squad, just like the rest of them. He's competing for playing time. Today was my first time performing for five minutes in front of a live crowd. Donny, this is Manchester United. This is how it seems.
He continues to put in long hours. He is a consummate professional. He's also a wonderful young man. He'll have his chance. Tuesday? Let's wait and see what occurs.
Jesse Lingard of England scored his first league goal for the Red following his first appearance since December 2018 and is set to make his first United start since January in Switzerland.
Lingard, 28, would have started the season if he hadn't contracted Covid-19 the week before United's opening against Leeds, and Solskjaer is pleased with his recuperation.
Jesse has had his ups and downs, but according to Solskjaer, he is now a fantastic child or man. I could have kept him because I know what an amazing player he is, but he demonstrated to everyone at West Ham and England what kind of player he is.
Coming back and scoring a goal in front of the fans was also a highlight of his day. He is a Manchester United fan who has been wearing Manchester United clothing since he was a child, so I am thrilled for him, and he is a top, top player and man.
