The 24-year-old started only four Premier League games last season and has begun the new campaign as an unused substitute in United’s opening fixtures against Leeds and Southampton.
He was left out of the Holland squad this week for their upcoming World Cup qualifiers and national team manager Louis Van Gaal has told Van De Beek he needs to play games in order to be considered again for selection.
Solskjaer has moved to ease Van De Beek’s worries and insists the Dutchman will get opportunities in the near future.
“Of course we started against Leeds with a team we picked and a 5-1 win was, of course, justification for the team selection,” said the United boss.

“We move to the next one, Scott (McTominay) couldn’t play and Nemanja (Matic) was our best player in pre-season, that’s why I chose Nemanja, he’s been terrific.

“Donny has worked hard, he’s done really well, he will get his chances when the season gets going.

“We had Carabao Cup games, a game every four days, we’ve had a week every game, I can’t say any other way we made the decision when you start as well as you do you don’t wanna rotate too much, that was the decision, Nemanja started ahead of Donny.”
United resume their Premier League campaign against Wolves today. Van De Beek will be hoping he gets a start with Scott Mctomminay out through injury.
Summer signing Raphael Varane is closing in on a debut. And fellow new arrival Jadon Sancho will hope for a first start after two appearances as a substitute.
