Due to a knee injury, Donny van de Beek of Manchester United has been out since January.
Donny van de Beek, a midfielder for Manchester United, has stated that his long-term injury recovery is progressing as expected.
The Netherlands international, who transferred to United from Dutch powerhouse Ajax in September 2020, injured his knee during the Reds’ 3-0 victory over Bournemouth at Old Trafford. During a challenge from Cherries defender Marcos Senesi, his leg gave way, forcing him to miss the rest of the campaign.
The midfielder, who spent the second half of last season on loan at Everton, has recently shared a couple of heartening updates on his social media accounts. He has shared pictures of himself working out in the gym and expressed hope that his recovery is progressing as it should.
In addition, he provided a brief update on his recovery while speaking with United supporters in Singapore as part of a special MUTV feature, supporting those claims ahead of United’s match against Aston Villa at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon.
Van de Beek told MUTV, “I am occupied with recovering from my injury, and everything is going well. “It is difficult to give you a time [on a return date], we just need to see how everything goes.
I currently spend a lot of time working out in the gym. However, I am getting closer to taking the field, so that is a plus. Nearby is where I am. ”
The midfielder, who has made just 60 appearances for the Reds and has been injured since January, acknowledged that it has been difficult to fill in as a watcher recently.
The Dutchman continued, “It is a little strange. “Of course you want to be there with the guys and not here [on the sidelines], but it is what it is, and I am now watching them from the side. “
