Arsenal legend Ian Wright has lambasted Manchester United for their treatment of Donny van de Beek, declaring he hopes he can find form at Everton.
The 24-year-old put a temporary end to his torrid run in Manchester that brought just four starts for the Reds, arriving at Goodison Park on loan for the remainder of the season on deadline day.
His failure to feature for United led to a number of omissions from Louis van Gaal's international call-ups leaving the former Ajax-man on the cusp of missing out on the World Cup in Qatar.
Wright feels the treatment of Van de Beek is 'wrong' and hopes he can replicate Jesse Lingard's West Ham form that thrust him in contention for an England Euro 2020 call-up.
He told The Ringer podcast: "The move from Ajax to Man United was a massive move, a great move, we're all thinking great things [that] he's going to do, but it hasn't happened and I know there's an unbelievable player in there.
"I'm hoping that can work for him, he's going to need a bit of time but then again I hope he doesn't need that bit of time so he can show, like what Jesse [Lingard] done [when he] went to West Ham and was just blasting.
"[I hope] Donny does the same, so we can see what those people [Manchester United] what they've done to that guy in the last few years is wrong.
"So I'm hoping for Donny van de Beek [to regain form/international place]."
