‘His career has sort of stalled a bit’ – Man United star urged to join league champions to revive his career
Neil Lennon has urged Manchester United flop Donny van de Beek to consider a shock move to Scottish league champions Celtic to revive his career.
Asked if Celtic could be an ideal place for Van de Beek to revive his career, Lennon told The Go Radio Football Show: “Possibly – his career has sort of stalled a bit.
“He was outstanding for Ajax the season they got to the semi-finals of the Champions League in that really good, young team.
“He went to United and it didn’t work out and he went on loan to Everton and that didn’t work out either. So he needs a kick-start and maybe Celtic is that place for him.
“He’s certainly shown he’s got the pedigree and you never lose it, you just sometimes lose your confidence or your hunger and lose your way a little bit.
“Players of that calibre just need a restart and maybe he’s thinking Celtic might be that place to go but I mean, there’s a lot of work to be done in a deal involving that.
“He’ll be on huge money, let’s not beat around the bush here. Realistically, if you’re talking about McTominay, Tierney or Van de Beek, it’ll probably be a loan and Celtic making a contribution towards the wages.”
