Man United Fans Want Van de Beek & Matic Pivot Over 'McFred' After Sensational Performance
Published
Manchester United fans loved the pivot of Nemanja Matic and Donny van de Beek following their sensational performance against Everton.
Matic and Van de Beek starred as Man United beat Everton 4-0 in an Old Trafford friendly ahead of the new season.
The midfielders dictated play in the engine room of the pitch, with the Dutchman impressing Man United fans on social media.
Supporters online praised the 24-year-old's outing as he showed his worth following a frustrating campaign last season.
Van de Beek featured heavily off the bench under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, but his performance against the Toffees could see him earn a spot in the starting XI in their Premier League opener versus Leeds United.
Fans want the duo of Matic and Van de Beek to start over Scott McTominay and Fred.

If I see McFred starting next Saturday instead of Matic & Van de Beek I'm turning the car around.

Donny van de Beek showing Solskjaer he can offer a lot more defensively than just being a no.8 or playing around the opposition box.

His interceptions have been top notch - proves he can comfortably play in a double pivot while also helping transition from defence to attack.
