Manchester United midfielder Donny Van De Beek is ruled out for the rest of the season according to United manager Eric Ten Hag.
Van De Beek suffered a bad tackle against Bournemouth in the Premier League last week and will remain sidelined until the beginning of next season.
The former Ajax man made a move to England in 2020 and has struggled to find a permanent spot in the starting XI of United.
Man United’s 3-0 win against Bournemouth was the game which saw the Dutch man’s second start of the season.
“Yes, it is his knee. In the long term it is looking really good, he will be back for the start of pre-season. The rest of the season he is out,” Ten Hag told a news conference on Friday.
“Our thoughts are with him, it is terrible when you are in a season and you get a bad tackle, bad injury, it is always really disappointing and our thoughts, feelings are with the player.
“Our group did that really well and we are now happy his knee, in the long term, is good. In the same moments, there are mixed feelings and disappointment that he is out of this season.”
Van De Beek remains an exciting talent with lots of years ahead of him at age 25 and it is absolutely clear that the Dutch man will come back stronger.
