Solskjaer happy to bide his time with Van De Beek at United

Donny Van De Beek has started more matches for Nerlands than for Manchester United since his move to English club in early September.

For United manr Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, re's reason to rush his big off-season season signing into team.

"Donny is going to play a big, big part this year."

Solskjaer said Tuesday as he fielded questions about Van De Beek's limited role since joining from Ajax in early September.

midfielder's two starts have come in English League Cup, with his or five appearances coming as a substitute in Premier League and Champions League.

In recent games, Solskjaer has preferred Scott McTominay and Fred in central midfield, t just over Van De Beek but also Paul Pogba. 

It has led Nerlands great Marco Van Basten to question why his compatriot left Ajax in a deal initially worth 39 million pounds (USD 46 million).

United manr said difficulty Van De Beek has had in breaking into team highlights strength in depth in squad.

"When players come into a new league, a new team, it's always going to be a time of (transition)," said Solskjaer, who was kwn as a so-called super-sub in his playing days at United. 

"When Donny has played, he's played really well. I think it says a lot about our depth of quality in squad that we don't have to use him every single game because we have or players as well.

"I also think it says everything about our ambitions, we want to go and push on, we want to go and challenge for trophies this season." 

McTominay also is urging patience with Van De Beek, who has started three times for Dutch national team over past two international breaks.

"I feel like re's time to panic for Donny," said McTominay, who was speaking day before United's group-st match against Leipzig in Champions League.

"People can be so quick to come to an assumption that he's t playing and things like that.

"Give him time, let him adapt to league, let him settle into his new house or wherever he is living and really let him concentrate on his season."
