Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s staff didn’t feel that Donny van de Beek had the ‘right’ personality needed to deal with the pressure of playing for Manchester United, according to stunning reports.

The 24-year-old Dutch midfielder has endured a nightmare spell at Old Trafford since his £35m move from Ajax in 2020.


Van de Beek has not started a single Premier League match for United this season, with all three of his appearances coming as a substitute.


The former Ajax star came off the bench and scored in Watford’s 4-1 thumping of 10-men United at Vicarage Road on Saturday.

United announced on Sunday that Solskjaer had been sacked, with the Red Devils six points adrift from a top-four position in the league table.

The Times’ Paul Hirst now reports that Solskjaer’s team were unconvinced with the Dutchman’s subdued personality and were unsure he could manage playing under the immense pressure.

According to reports, both Van de Beek and many of his United teammates were ‘shocked’ by how he was being treated at Old Trafford.




The Netherlands international, who has been linked with Newcastle and Everton, made 36 appearances across all competitions for United last season.

United legend Rio Ferdinand recently urged Van de Beek to consider his options at the Red Devils, including a potential exit from the club.

Former Red Devils striker Dimitar Berbatov was also critical of his former club after claiming that Van de Beek is “one of the most disappointing transfers ever.”


United are now scouting for an interim manager to lead United to the end of the season after Solskjaer’s dismissal.

Michael Carrick has stepped in as caretaker manager for the time being and will lead United for Tuesday’s Champions League clash against Villarreal.

• Two Manchester United players did not receive personal goodbyes from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

An emotional Solskjaer admitted that he is “very proud” at what he achieved as United head coach and it was a “dream” come true to manage the club.

Speaking in his farewell interview, he told United’s official website: “Very, very proud. Of course, it’s one of those things you dream of in your life.

“When you’ve been a player, when you’ve been a reserve team coach, the next job then, the only dream and the only thing you haven’t done is to manage the club, and I have now.

“It’s been a ball, it’s been absolutely enjoyable from the first to the last minute, so I have to thank all the players because since I came in, they’re top lads, top people.

“Some have come, some have gone, but all of them, they’ve been such an enjoyable bunch to work with.”

Meanwhile a club in their own city is taking over; building a super academy, state of the art training facilities etc.

And they still won't be bigger than us nor fill their stadium

 

[phcitywarrior]

They're reporting Big Vic got some facial fractures.

It’s less than ideal


Assuming everything goes to plan he should hopefully get some minutes before he leaves to join us and we have him back up to speed by the time the group is over

I’m hearing it’s about 2 months he’ll be out. I think at best we get him come end of group stage…

Time to get Taiwo Awoniyi slotted into the National team set-up ASAP.

I guess Man City is also a bigger club than United based on this metric?

Stop talking about things you know little of. It will help you in life.

Based on that metric, yep

 

[mastermind]

Of course. Man Utd are run purely to generate money

No league title since 12-13 season and no European Cup since 07-08 but they sell club branded toasters and that social media engagement is poppin

You gotta stop trolling.

If it’s 2 months



I had seen a month they were talking earlier but I’ve seen some eye expert has said 6 weeks, so if he has the surgery tomorrow as reported that’s exactly a week before we kick off against Egypt



Any kind of setback would be catastrophic and I don’t even wanna think about it

Yeah right this board doesn't even know who Rangnick is

maybe you are not just sure how this club size thing works.

man city, chelsea, leicester and liverpool are all smaller than utd, despite winning the league more recently.

PSG is smaller as well.

these clubs are all smaller than AC milan too, who themselves haven't won anything major in years.

give it another 10 - 15 years then it will be close but right now, no chance.

this is not the USA where winning elevates no-name no-mark muppet franchises to the top table.

it doesn't work like that in football.

despite liverpool being out of it for 20+ years they remained and remain far bigger than man city, chelsea and the other pretenders.

a reordering of the football pecking order takes breeding. roots are deep and legacy counts for something.

like some UK MP's decry others for being "the type of family that buys rather than inherits furniture" you cannot buy class. you cannot buy legacy and you cannot buy greatness.

the royal houses of european football are very hard to shift and man utd and liverpool are the only english clubs at that level.
