Manchester United loanee, Donny van de Beek, has rarely been involved as of late for Eintracht Frankfurt.

His loan spell has been an unmitigated disaster, due to the fact he has only played six times for his new club since he joined in January.

In fact, there was news early on in his loan that the Bundesliga side were so unimpressed by his impact that they had decided to not keep the player in the summer.

What’s more, United seem so desperate to rid of him from their wage books that they would consider letting him go for nothing in this upcoming window, according to recent reports.

The Dutchman was given 24 minutes off the bench as his Frankfurt side came unstuck 3-0 against VfB Stuttgart on Saturday.

It was the first time he had been called off the bench since March 10th, sitting out his last three games in a row.

The match was over as a contest early on, as the home side raced into a three goal lead after only 37 minutes.

Therefore, when Van de Beek entered the field of play, the tie was already over.

Sofascore gave the player a rating of 6.5 for his brief afternoon’s work.

Even though Frankfurt did manage 10 shots to the home side’s nine, the United midfielder was unable to contribute any, as he finished with no efforts on or off target.

The 26 year old made 10 out of his 12 passes, for a percentage of 83%, but none were threatening as he had 0 key passes in the match.

He lost the ball twice and failed to win his one ground duel.

The result means that Frankfurt remain in sixth place, well adrift from Borussia Dortmund in fifth as the gap now stands at 14 points between the two sides.

Van de Beek’s team will next play at home next Friday, when they host Augsburg as the Bundesliga enters the final stretch.

From the United man’s perspective, a start would be ideal to try and show off his talents but truthfully, it would be a massive surprise given how his loan spell has turned out, as even getting off the bench is a challenge these days.
