Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says Donny van de Beek has 'all the technical attributes needed' to excel in his Manchester United team.

The 23-year-old Netherlands international becomes United's first signing of the summer transfer window, signing a five-year deal at Old Trafford with the option of a further year.

He offers another option in midfield alongside the likes of Bruno Fernandes and Paul Pogba with Solskjaer confident his new recruit has the tools necessary to become a big player for the club.

“Donny has all of the technical attributes needed to perform in this team and has the personality required to succeed at Manchester United," Solskjaer told the club's official website.

“His ability to see space, time his movements and read the game will really complement the qualities that we have in midfield and his arrival really strengthens the depth of talent we have in that position.

“Donny’s performances in the Eredivisie and in Europe have been excellent over the last few years and we are all looking forward to working with him.”
