That's good going for someone who trained here.
To be expected when he didn't play a full game in, how long?
Indeed. I hope he does well. I'm still bemused the lack of minutes he got here considering the hole we're in.
Yeah Joel Glazer totally forced Ole to sign Donny.
Maybe they'll buy him, might even get close to our money back if he does really well.
No doubt that's the main intention for his loan.

I'm rooting for him. Half of my family is from Liverpool so always had a soft spot for everton
Yeah it was one of the Glazers' 'commercial signings'.
The world famous Ajax footballer, Donny Van De Beek.
Some of the comments from Everton fans on Guardian match report.
https://www.theguardian.com/football/2022/feb/12/everton-leeds-premier-league-match-report
"Donny must have surprised a few people with the fight he showed"
"That Dutch lad in Everton’s midfield, Donny something… Manchester United could really do with a player like him."
"How good was Donny? I reckon a good run of games, he'll be absolutely fine, and yes, everyone will be wondering why United couldn't make good use of a player who can make repeated five-yard passes to work the ball out of trouble and up the field.
I really hope he does well."
" Donny van de Beek was brilliant. A shame that he is going back to Old Trafford in May."
" Donny was plugging holes in the middle" of the park in the first half, and allowed allan to go up, confusing Leeds even more.
In the 2nd half Donny was parked in front of our 2 cbs and played vacuum cleaner to a T. Again, to aid the guys up front attacking. They always knew if a ball was lost, Donny would pick it up, or force it out wide, with or without Leeds player. He was fantastic. Absolutly amazing."
" I must say, Man Utd must have some tremendous players in midfield to be able to keep Donny vdB off the pitch."

The Glazers are students of game and probably huge fans of the history and system in place at Ajax.
Oh look, he can play no6. Wow, who would knew that?
You have my deepest sympathies.
Marc Overmars for one.
Yup. Along with Amad and Pellistri. Joel was surfing YouTube compilations and saw those viewing numbers.
It's nice knowing he's getting more then 5 mins of game time
May be he was too busy sending dick pics to his female colleagues.
girish!
Donny's situation at utd sums up what a mess this club is in. 10 years without a major trophy,
If ETH comes in as manager, Donny will be a starter at Utd for sure. With Pogba off on a free. We are left with Bruno, mcfred and matic in midfield. If a player of donny's quality cant get into that midfield then utd deserve another decade of dross.
It makes me laugh, I bet his performance today was probably not a lot different than what he's given for United.
Unfortunately we can't stop comparing players to Keane, Carrick and Scholes and expecting them to be the same.

He's so happy to be playing football he even does a no look pass ffs!
Probably not a complete every-single-touch compilation but it's pretty much what I've expected of him. Absolutely madness we couldn't have integrated him into the team or given him more minutes.

Look at how many forward passes, kids a baller.
Very good performance! Reminds me of Herrera in a way when he plays that role.
Good compilation there, keeps it simple and keeping the ball moving. So bizarre we never gave him a chance.
Our misuse/underuse of him is one of the biggest scandals post-Fergie and there have been quite a few blunders.
Herrera would walk into this team and transform our midfield.
Think he thrives with hard workers around him and he’s the quality, whereas with us it’s quality and no hard workers.
The problem is he wasn’t a rotation player, he was back up to the back up player in how much he played. Four league starts in 18 months? Less than 90 minutes in an entire league season? They’re the minutes you give to an 18 year old academy player breaking through not a £40m player that played in the CL semi final.
We won the league 9 years ago and 3 cups between 16-17.

But we have a no-look defender!
Unfortunately it's also Fred and mctominays level. Also pretty confident they wouldn't touch matic with a barge pole
Someone said other players did not want to pass the ball to him here.
Could our dressing room be that toxic?

Herrera and Van De Beek would have been mint. Instead, our geniuses have given us McTominay and Fred.
Not sure what they are seeing. I rather have Jimmy Garner in that same position next season if that's the case.
I don’t want to start a deep dive on this point but I’ll just share my opinion here that we need a clever short passing midfielder like Donny. Bruno is brilliant at the long pass but he’s less effective, IMO, against the bus parkers.
The book on tearing up United used to be sitting deep and hitting on the counter. Now the book on us is to dominate midfield. I love Bruno he’s not the sun and moon midfielder he’s made out to be. Bruno and Donny would compliment each other brilliantly, but they’ve been been given the chance.
Feel like people are desperate to say he was great yesterday given his treatment at united and our current midfield problems
Yesterday's performance was okay but nothing to show he can break into our current group of midfielders (low bar as we all know). He showed decent composure and good 1 touch short passing ability which we know he has in his locker. But that's not enough on its own.
From what I could see he isn't a big presence in the midfield defensively, the intensity of the game seems a bit above his level. Would like to see a more diverse passing range aswell ideally to make up for the fact that he is not the type to drive the ball forward himself.

The way he was treated wasn't good and he should have been given more minutes and opportunities.
And his appearance in the CL semi final is no drum to beat on. Ziyech, de Ligt, de Jong, and VDB. All young key players from that Ajax side...all four haven't hit the heights people thought they would, but VDB has been the worst of the lot. Time is still on his side and the others, but they none of them are world beaters.
God forbid we would give Donny a chance whilst our magnificent team puts away the likes of boro, Burnley and Southampton. Oh wait
Its on him now to prove to us he would have made a difference against those 3 teams. And based on his performance yesterday i didn't see enough there in my opinion. Time will tell I guess
I didn't see any of the game. But a good mate of mine who is an Everton fan went and said Donny was the beat player on the pitch. Good to hear.
You love to see it. He just took a massive dump on his haters. Just shat all over them. And also confirmed a couple of things I already know: we are a graveyard for talent, our staff is hopelessly incompetent, who plays is only based on name, not merit.
