Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has hinted at a change of position for Donny van de Beek.

Solskjaer has hinted the 24-year-old may get his chance in a new position given Bruno Fernandes is unlikely to be usurped from the No 10 role anytime soon and Paul Pogba also has to be accommodated.

"Donny has very good qualities. He's had a disappointing season last year, a disappointing end when he got his injury and stopped him playing for Holland at the Euros," United's manager told Beyond the Pitch.

"He has worked really hard. He's waiting to be unleashed and to show what he can do.

"He can play as a six in a [midfield] two, he can play as an eight, as an attacking midfielder, as a 10, we have used him on the wide left coming inside.

"He is a footballer with many qualities that we like at the club but, yes, he can play as one of the two in midfield."
