Ajax goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar told Manchester United which player they would recruit from Donny van de Beek.
The Dutch midfielder joined United last month after spending his entire career at Ajax.
And van der Sar, the 23-year-old from his former United partner Paul Scholes.
“You can play in other positions in midfield: it can be a six, an 8 or a 10, it has a big eye for a pass. His strategy is brilliant, he can go from area to area,” said former United United goalkeeper. der San says the club’s website.
“I’d compare him a little bit to Scholesy, Scholesy controlled a shot from 30/40 yards and that’s not Donny’s strength, but he likes to get into the area and participate with goals. Maybe it’s unfair to do that, compare him to Scholesy actually, however, he’s a smart kid and I’m sure it’ll be a wonderful addition to the team ole [Gunnar Solskjaer] is creating for United.
“I guess he had an argument with Ole and they talked about other positions [which he can play]. It’s multifunctional, it can play a little deeper, which is your favorite role. “
“Of course, we know that United already has some suitable midfielders, so it will put its way into the team and also with the number of games that the most productive clubs want to play this year in the Premier League, Champions League and Cup. matches, everything is intense, so you want a smart and wide team and I think the midfielder seems smart right now for United. “
