'Well here's an idea, play him!' Manchester United fans call on Ralf Rangnick to start Donny van de Beek after interim boss admits Red Devils 'controlled the game' following Dutchman's introduction against Aston Villa

Manchester United fans have called on interim boss Ralf Rangnick to start Donny van de Beek after the Dutchman's introduction on Monday night helped the Red Devils see out the FA Cup win against Aston Villa.

Van de Beek, a regular figure on the United bench since his £40m arrival from Ajax in 2020, was once again a substitute but did come on in the 72nd minute for Edinson Cavani, with United 1-0 up but under pressure.

Yet from then on, a change of shape aided by the Holland international's introduction saw United see out the game relatively comfortably, which has made United fans question why the 24-year-old isn't starting more games.
