Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has compounded Donny van de Beek’s misery at Manchester United even more as the 24-year-old midfielder is named on the bench once again against Watford.

Solskjaer revealed his starting line-up for United’s game against Watford an hour before kick-off and supporters were shocked to learn that Van de Beek had been dropped once again.

Van de Beek has endured a torrid 18 months since signing for Manchester United from Ajax and that isn’t about to change anytime soon.
