'Donny should have waited and signed for another club': Holland legend Marco Van Basten claims van de Beek will come to regret £40m move to Manchester United as midfielder failed to come on against Chelsea

Holland legend Marco Van Basten claims Donny van de Beek will come to regret his summer move to Manchester United.

The 23-year-old midfielder has only played 61 minutes in the Premier League for the Old Trafford side after arriving from Ajax for £40million in the summer.

The Holland international was once again left on the bench by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer - who has promised van de Beek he will get minutes this season - in United's dour 0-0 draw at home to Chelsea.
