DONNY VAN DE BEEK ‘has absolutely no chance’ of making it at Manchester United, says Paul Ince.
The Dutch international midfielder, 24, arrived at Old Trafford in a £40m deal from Ajax but he has barely featured for the Red Devils.
Van De Beek was handed a rare start at Young Boys on Tuesday but he was subbed off at half time of the Champions League defeat.
Boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer claimed the switch was tactical after United had gone down to ten men due to Aaron Wan-Bissaka’s red card.
But the club’s former ‘Guv’nor’ Ince is not convinced and says the ace will never make an impact at the Theatre of Dreams.
When asked by The United Stand if he will turn out to be a success, he said: “Absolutely no chance!.
“He’s tried to make the player happy [by playing him].
“It’s always tough when you don’t play to come and make an impression on your first start and to sub him off at half-time… what does it say to us, what does it say to the fans?

“What does it say to Donny? If I can’t get a full game against Young Boys, ten men or no ten men, then it’s time for me to go.
“There’s nothing Ole could say that would persuade me that my future is at Manchester United.
“I wish it was because it’s the biggest club in the world but he needs to play football.”
Ince even went as far to name at least six players that are ahead of him in the pecking order as he tipped Van De Beek to leave before the end of the campaign.
He added: “[Scott] McTominay is back now, [Nemanja] Matic – who I love – is back, he’s got Fred.
“He’s never not going to play [Bruno] Fernandes or [Paul] Pogba, he’s got [Jesse] Lingard who can play in that role so the signs are there and I expect him to be gone in January.
“Whether it’s a loan… they won’t be getting the money back that they paid for him.
“You feel sorry for him because he looks like a nice lad, looks like he wants to do well, looks like the ultimate professional and he must know now that the writing is on the wall, unfortunately.”
