Ten Hag could promote forgotten Man United star as Paul Pogba nears transfer away

According to reports, incoming Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag may give Donny van de Beek another shot at Old Trafford next season.

Van de Beek has battled for playing time since joining Manchester United, but he seemed like a strong potential at Ajax, where he played under Ten Hag.

According to the Telegraph, with the pair poised to reconcile, it might provide Van de Beek with an Old Trafford lifeline, as Paul Pogba is due to leave at the conclusion of his contract this summer.

Pogba’s departure would leave Ten Hag with a midfield void to fill, which might mean Van de Beek would receive more chances to prove what he can do for the Red Devils.

While Pogba has never looked like the ideal fit for United, Van de Beek may finally find his feet at the club under a manager who knows how to get the most out of him.

The Netherlands international was instrumental in Ten Hag’s Ajax team reaching the Champions League semi-finals in 2019, and it will be interesting to see what they can do together in the Premier League next season.
