Manchester United midfielder Donny van de Beek is seeking assurances from the club after continuing to be left out in the cold, according to reports. Van de Beek wants to know if he will eventually become a regular member of the United side or if he needs to move elsewhere. The Dutchman is yet to start in the Premier League this season and has made just one substitute appearance in the competition.
