If Everton are to recruit Manchester United offensive midfielder Donny van de Beek, they must overcome the red flags raised by his injury history, according to Dr Rajpal Brar. According to the injury expert, his knee has been bothering him for over a year and may interfere with his ability to pass a physical this summer.
The 27-year-old Netherlands international was offered to the Toffees, but they are not especially interested in acquiring his services. [Caught offside, 6 July] In an exclusive interview with Goodison News, Brar, a Physical Therapist and Sports Scientist, remarked of van de Beek: “There are drawbacks to signing him, and it will all depend on whether he can handle the physicality and demands of the Premier League after multiple serious knee problems.
“That will be the biggest question.”He’s suffered a lot of ailments, the most recent being to his knee, which has been bothering him all along. “His loan spell has also not worked out so there are plenty of red flags and if there are outliers, it could cause issues with his medical as well.” Everton must avoid Donny van de Beek at all cost. The Netherlands international’s disappointing displays at Manchester United and Everton raise questions about his ability to adapt to the Premier League. His huge salaries could be a financial strain for the team, and his conditioning has been subpar in recent seasons.
Even in a less intense league on loan, van de Beek struggled, indicating that he is not the player many expected to reach his full potential.
