DONNY VAN DE BEEK is out for the rest of the season after surgery on a knee injury he suffered during Manchester United’s win over Bournemouth.
The Dutch midfielder looked in distress as he hobbled off in the 47th minute of United’s 3-0 win on January 3rd following a challenge by Marcos Senesi.
Now his worst fears have been realized as Red Devils boss Erik Ten Hag revealed at his press conference ahead of the Manchester derby.
Ten Hag said: “It is his knee. In the long term it is looking really good, he will be back for the start of pre-season. For the rest of the season, he is out.
“Everyone has thoughts about him it is terrible. It was a bad tackle, a bad injury.
“Our thoughts and feeling are with the player.

"After successful surgery, it’s time to start my recovery process, and will do everything to come back stronger for this club
"Thank you all for the lovely messages, they mean a lot to me and my family. ❤️"
Meanwhile United has not been able to complete the signing of Wout Weghorst in time for Saturday’s lunchtime derby.
The club is close to completing the loan deal of the Burnley player who has been at Besiktas.
But it needed to be done by lunchtime today.
Ten Hag said: “I think we are close so he won’t be available.”
The Red Devils boss has been looking for another striker since Cristiano Ronaldo’s contract was canceled during the World Cup.
He was hoping to have Weghorst on the bench at least for the match with Manchester City as Anthony Martial is an injury doubt.
