Daley Blind insists Donny van de Beek can turn things around at Manchester United.

Former United defender Blind played with Van de Beek at Ajax and believes the midfielder can still win over manager Erik ten Hag.

"Donny's a real No.10 and there are not a lot of teams who play with a No.10 in top football," Blind told The Athletic.

"I think he can adapt to new positions if he gets time. He has the quality to be a top player at United, but United doesn't wait for anyone.

He continued: "Donny van de Beek is a very good guy and a very good player, but big injuries have been an issue for him.

"They can be hard to come back from."
