Donny van de Beek gives verdict on Manchester United summer signings

Donny van de Beek has praised Erik ten Hag for bringing so many 'team players' to Manchester United in the summer transfer window.

United ended the summer with six new senior arrivals to their squad following the deadline deals for Ajax winger Antony and Newcastle goalkeeper Martin Dubravka. They followed defenders Tyrell Malacia and Lisandro Martinez, as well as midfield duo Christian Eriksen and Casemiro.

Ten Hag overhauled the look of his first-team squad with the players he brought in this summer, and many of them have already made a telling impact in matches this season.

Van de Beek knows all about the talents of the summer recruits, but he is most impressed with the personality and work ethic of the six signings.

“I know them already, as a player," he told United Review. Some of the players I played against – I played against Christian, against Casemiro as well, with Ajax. Licha [Lisandro], I played together with him.

"So I know what they are capable of and they are really good players, so they will help us for sure. They are nice people, but they are also team players. I think this is important, to work hard together. As people, they fit very well with the players we have.”
