The Red Devils bought van de Beek from Ajax in the summer, paying £40 million for the Dutchman’s services. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer also signed former Paris-Saint Germain striker Cavani for free on deadline day.
The Red Devils endured a horrible start to the season, shipping in 11 goals from the first three games in the Premier League.
However, Manchester United’s season is back on track after two consecutive wins in the UEFA Champions League group stage against PSG and RB Leipzig. But with both Van de Beek and Cavani yet to start a game in the league, Souness is hardly impressed by the recruitment team at Old Trafford.
Van de Beek is surplus to requirements at Manchester United: Graeme Souness
Writing in his column for The Times, the football pundit claimed that Solskjaer does not have much say in the footballing decisions taken at Manchester United.
Souness thinks van de Beek is surplus to requirements at Old Trafford. He said:
The Englishman also feels that Cavani’s arrival only highlighted Manchester United’s desperation in the transfer market.
The 67-year-old believes that the lack of planning at Manchester United is hurting their recruitment process.
Souness was of the opinion that things won’t change at Old Trafford unless Manchester United have ‘football’ people making transfer decisions.
