Netherland legend Marco Van Basten, has come out to condemn the mentality behind Donny Van De Beek's move to Manchester United.
In Basten's statement, he accused Donny of feeling bigger than the Dutch side before he left.
Van De Beek's first season at Olt Trafford
The Dutchman has had a pretty slow start with the English giants. After his move the last summer, his first season has left so much to be desired.
So far, Donny has made only two starts for United this season. Without any reasonable doubt, that says a lot about his season with the Red devils.
Van Basten's viewpoint
Van De Beek's present predicament is most probably the driving factor for Van Basten's comment.
From the statement of the Dutch legend, one thing stood out. Donny felt too big of himself ahead of the move to United. His idea was that he would immediately acclimatize and perform great. Too bad how that has been far from the case.
Reasons for Van Basten’s frustration
Van Basten has expressed frustration over Donny's attitude, for two good reasons.
Firstly, they both have got Netherlands roots. Van Basten played for the Dutch national side sometime in the 1980s.
Secondly, Van Basten's career has made him stand as a mentor to most Dutch players.
He had an awesome career while he played. A career that saw him ply his trade with clubs like AC-Milan, Ajax and the Dutch national team.
Most importantly where the Balon d’Or's he won. Three times to be specific.
Without a doubt, Basten is more than qualified to express concerns over Van De Beek's attitude.
Conclusion
Beyond any reasonable doubt, it has become obvious that Donny Van De Beek has to up his game or risk leaving Manchester United.
United is a team with a lot of history, a team where players show dedication and are in high spirits when called upon.
In line with that, Van De Beek would have to show positive signs of the above listed, if he desires to state his claim at Olt Trafford.
