Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has opened up on Donny van de Beek’s frustrations at not coming on against Villarreal on Wednesday, with a subtle warning to the midfielder about his behaviour.
“You know, I manage a squad full of international footballers, competitive footballers who want to make a difference, who want to play. They all want to be on the pitch, of course they do.
“Donny was ready to come on, as all players should be.
“I’ve been a sub more than anyone in this club probably – I must have a record appearance as a sub – and you have to be ready all the time.
“I’ve been not very happy a few times but that is the decision the manager makes.
“Alex was coming off as a left-back and Fred did that job well. So I understand the frustration, of course, every player is keen to play, that’s got to be built into energy and determination for when you get on and show me.
“It’s not just Donny, it’s players, I’ve got a squad of internationals and if we’re going to be successful we need positive energy, no sulkers.
“Donny has never affected his teammates negatively.
“As soon as I see players affecting the team negatively then that’s a different scenario and I’ll probably be firmer.”
