Man Utd new boy Van de Beek hauled off after 57-minute ‘disasterclass’ for Holland against Italy
MANCHESTER UNITED’S new £38million signing Donny van de Beek was hauled off for Holland after less than an hour against Italy.
The Dutchman was officially confirmed as a Red Devil last week after his transfer from Ajax was finally completed.
