The Dutchman is keen to make the step up after struggling to make an impact during his first season with the club
Donny van de Beek says he has held “positive” talks with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer about his Manchester United future and is confident of making an impression this season after a difficult opening year at Old Trafford.
The Netherlands international made just four Premier League starts during 2020-21 following his £35 million ($48m) switch from Ajax and his future was brought into question over the summer.
The arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo will push van de Beek further down the pecking order this campaign and a late loan move to Everton was mooted, but the midfielder says he has been reassured about his place in the squad.
