Ian Wright urges Donny van de Beek to leave Manchester United
Everton target Donny van de Beek has been urged to leave Manchester United, by Ian Wright.
The BBC MOTD pundit was shown the video of the Netherlands international being disgruntled by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer not bring him on.

Speaking about his situation on Premier League Productions, Wright said, “It’s baffling to me that he went to Manchester United. It’s gone wrong. He’s got to get out of there.”
Listen to him
Wright has absolutely hit the nail on the head there, we cannot understand why van de Beek even ended up at Man United.
He was such a talented player at Ajax who had the potential to be world class and he’s been curbed by a manager who’s in the job because he used to be an ex-player rather than any tactical prowess.
It’s a shame to see such a talent being destroyed at a club that doesn’t know what to do with him.
Instead, Everton will be ideal for him as he will be given the freedom to thrive in that free midfield role.
Allan and Abdoulaye Doucoure offer solid midfield cover, leaving plenty of room for van de Beek to wing in his magic.
Hopefully, the Toffees retain their interest in the attacking midfielder and make another bid in January.
