A medical expert has shared a worrying update on Manchester United midfielder Donny van de Beek’s injury.
Van de Beek suffered an injury in Manchester United’s recent game against Bournemouth. The slowed-down video of the injury was not for the faint-hearted, as Van de Beek’s leg is clearly seen moving in an unnatural position.
It was an unfortunate injury for Van de Beek, as the Bournemouth player’s tackle was simply an unfortunate incident.
Now medical expert Ben Dinnery, speaking to Football Insider, has provided an update on how bad he feels Van de Beek’s injury was.

“The knee hyperextends and then you also see the knee bend inward. When you add the external force and the power of the challenge, it doesn’t look very good. Internally, Man United will now carry out a series of tests to assess the player, checking the integrity of the ligaments. The ACL is the most obvious: the Lachman test. It will be a good indication if there is any damage, and they will also check for a fracture of the bone and if there is any damage to the posterior cruciate ligament. There is possible involvement with the MCL (medial collateral ligament) and even some damage to the meniscus as well. The images will confirm the extent of the problem and hopefully the results will be better than initially feared, but I suspect you will have an extended period on the sidelines.”
It doesn’t look good for Manchester United or Van de Beek. The Dutch midfielder has struggled for playing time this season, so if Manchester United were considering selling Van de Beek during the January transfer window, then it could be difficult for them to find a buyer.
Even when he makes a full recovery, we often see players struggling to get back to full fitness after a major injury, so fingers crossed that Van de Beek makes a full recovery and isn’t as bad as feared. beginning.
