The Dutchman is yet to start for Manchester United in the Premier League; all of his involvements so far have been from the bench. Van de Beek scored his first goal for the Red Devils in his very first game against Crystal Palace. However, he was ignored by Solskjaer in United’s game against Chelsea over the weekend, despite being on the bench.

Van de Beek did start in the UEFA Champions League game against RB Leipzig but was replaced in the middle of the second half, and Manchester United went on to scored four goals in his absence. With Arsenal waiting for the Red Devils on Sunday, the Dutchman expressed his desire to be involved in such crunch games.

The Dutchman also praised hat-trick hero Marcus Rashford, who helped Manchester United win 5-0 against the Bundesliga side.
