Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has assured Donny van de Beek he will start Saturday's FA Cup tie against Watford.

Van de Beek, who joined United from Ajax for £40million last summer, has struggled to establish himself and started just two Premier League games this season.

“I've answered this question so many times," said Solskjaer. “There are so many examples of players needing a little bit of time, quality players.

“We have many examples ourselves and there are other clubs with examples. Sometimes it takes time.

“You don't expect people who care for him to be quiet at times, especially when they want the best for them.

“Donny is going to play tomorrow, that's another chance for him.

“I've spoken to him and reiterated and made him aware of how much we rate him.

"But he'll play tomorrow and that's another good chance to kick on."
