Since his arrival at Manchester United last summer for 39 million euros, Donny van de Beek (24) has not really been able to win a place at the Red Devils, with only 15 starts in 36 games all competitions combined.

At the microphone of Voetbal Zone, former Ajax Amsterdam striker Marco van Basten explains this drop in form of the international to 19 caps by the level difference between the Eredivisie and the Premier League.

“It was simply not a smart choice (to join MU, editor's note). If you say you spoke to Real Madrid and then go to Manchester United, you are betting way too high. Van de Beek is not that good. As number 10 in Ajax it's a lot easier than being number 10 in Spain or England. In the Netherlands, you get a lot of help, you have opportunities, but this is not the case abroad." he told Dutch channel Ziggo Sport.
