Former Netherlands attacker Marco van Basten claims that Donny van de Beek "is not that good" amid his struggles at Manchester United.

Netherlands legend Marco van Basten has slammed Manchester United outcast Donny van de Beek, claiming that the former Ajax man is "not that good".

Van de Beek swapped Ajax for Old Trafford in the summer of 2020 and made 36 appearances across all competitions in his debut season, but he only started four Premier League games.

The midfielder's agent has since confirmed that Man United blocked a summer exit for the out-of-favour Dutchman, who has since been criticised once again by former national team star Van Basten.

Speaking to Ziggo Sport, Van Basten said: "It just wasn't smart choices. If you say you spoke to Real Madrid and then you go to Manchester United, you are betting way too high.

"Van de Beek is not that good. As number ten in Ajax it is much easier than as number ten in Spain or England. In the Netherlands you get a lot of help, you get opportunities, but that is not the case abroad."

Van de Beek was reportedly hopeful of completing a last-minute move to Everton before his exit was blocked, and he was left out of the Netherlands' squad for September's World Cup qualifiers. body check tags ::
