“No chance”: Former star opens up on the future of this struggling Man United star | OneFootball

Former Manchester United skipper Paul Ince opens up on the club’s midfield conundrum including the future of Donny van de Beek

Speaking on The United Stand (h/t The Metro), Manchester United hero Paul Ince has opened up on the future of Donny van de Beek at Old Trafford.

He believes the 24-year-old will leave the club in January following what has been an underwhelming spell at the Threatre of Dreams. Ince believes there is no chance that the Dutchman can salvage his career at the club.

Van de Beek has largely come off the bench at United. He received a rare start midweek against Young Boys but was pulled at the break after United went down to ten men. The Dutchman clearly does not appear to have the rub of luck at the moment.

The Red Devils do have a number of options in midfield. Paul Pogba, Scott McTominay, Fred and Nemanja Matic are all options who have a real chance of starting ahead of the Dutchman. As far as Ince is concerned it would appear Van de Beek’s career is taking its final breaths.

The perfect signing?

Ince believes Declan Rice would have been an excellent summer addition. The English international is today a top player and looks set to dominate his position for years to come.

A top midfielder in his day, Ince clearly knows what it will take to succeed in midfield at United. Rice clearly appears to have caught his fancy. Whether the Red Devils will return for the Hammers ace remains to be seen.
