Donny van de Beek to stay put at Manchester United

According to Dutch outlet Het Parool (h/t The Express), Manchester United star Donny van de Beek has decided to stay put at the club.

The Dutchman was the club’s first major signing of the summer. Despite scoring on his debut, he has failed to get a regular run of games in the starting XI.
