Ralf Rangnick believes Manchester United's pulsating 4-2 win at Leeds United was the 'best reply' to reports of disruption in the dressing room.
Manchester United manager Ralf Rangnick explains why he only started Donny van de Beek once
04.02.2022 - 08:07 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Ralf Rangnick says competition for places denied Donny van de Beek more playing time for Manchester United this season.
Van de Beek started 19 times in 17 chastening months for the club before he was allowed to join Everton on loan for the remainder of the campaign on deadline day.
The 24-year-old was United's headline arrival in the summer of 2020 but Van de Beek has not started in the Premier League since May and lined up four times this season before he moved to Merseyside.
Van de Beek's only start in Rangnick's 10 matches in charge was in the Champions League group stage dead-rubber against Young Boys. Rangnick has trailled several formations but Scott McTominay has started in every domestic match he has been available to the German and Fred has benefited from Rangnick's arrival, scoring the winner against Crystal Palace and creating goals against Aston Villa in the FA Cup and Brentford in the Premier League.
Nemanja Matic has also lined up four times under Rangnick and the return of Paul Pogba should offset Van de Beek's departure.
"In the end, it’s a question of competition," Rangnick explained. "Like Paul Pogba, I see him in the centre of midfield as one of the 6 or 8 positions and we have quite a few other good players in those positions, therefore he didn’t get much game-time but that doesn’t mean he’s not good enough for the Premier League or Manchester United.
"I’m pretty sure that he will get his game-time at Everton and show what kind of quality he can be. He’s a fantastic person and in the last nine or 10 weeks when I got to know him I’m fully aware he’s a fantastic team player and I wish him all the very best.
"I was in contact with him and wish him all the best for the next months at Everton."
