Donny Van De Beek's Bizarre Reaction To Being Fouled Against Southampton

Donny van De Beek got a lot of people talking on his first Premier League start but reasons you probably wouldn't expect.

Having had to make do with cameos from the bench, the Netherlands midfielder was rewarded for an impressive display in midweek in the 4-1 Champions League win over Istanbul Basaksehir.

He put in another solid shift for the Red Devils but the former Ajax man's main contribution against Southampton was producing the loudest scream of all time.

Fouled by James Ward-Prowse in the first half, you would have thought he would be on the receiving end of the the worst tackle in football history judging by the way he reacted.

After making a sound you'd hear after a player was in serious discomfort, a few seconds later Van de Beek was on the ball again after supporting Marcus Rashford down the left.

His antics garnered plenty of reaction on social media:

It turns out Van de Beek does love a good scream - memorably shouting when he put Ajax 1-0 up against Spurs two seasons ago.

Southampton were 2-0 up in the first half courtesy of a header from Jan Bednarek and a James Ward-Prowse free-kick, but a strike from Bruno Fernandes and a brace from half-time super sub Edinson Cavani saw United take all three points at St Mary's.
