Former Ajax and PSV Eindhoven star Wim Kieft believes Donny van de Beek has no need to panic at Manchester United.
The former Ajax midfielder has struggled to make an impression in the early weeks of his United career.
But Kieft wrote for De Telegraaf: "We from the Netherlands quickly think that such players will just get a basic place in the toughest competition in the world.
"But that trainer is not crazy and he sees during training and during games that Van de Beek has to get used to the pace and physical resistance in the Premier League.
“Even Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Pogba were shocked when they ended up in the English league. Then for a young player like Van de Beek, familiar with the Eredivisie and trained with the safe way of playing at Ajax, it is not surprising that he is brought slowly and needs an adjustment period.
"Just see what happened to Davy Klaassen (now of Ajax) at Everton.
"Van de Beek just has to settle for his role in the pecking order at United and wait calmly for his chance. That can take longer if a team wins the away game in the Champions League against the finalist (PSG)..."
