Another skid mark on this club. What a waste of time

He will not be playing much so I hope he enjoys the scenery.

Imagine a United player being so awful that only Lorient want to sign him.

A loan.

From Lorient.

Hardly surprising though if their scouts have ever seen him play for us.

Depressing how many bad smells we just can't get rid of.

Hold my hands up - saw him briefly for Ajax and against us and was really impressed - short triangles, really quick passing around tight spaces. Thought it was what we needed. Wrong player for our squad at the time and not remotely good enough ultimately. Terribly managed but still, he’s been £#%&!ing shit.

I really hope the club stops looking constantly at the Dutch league for its players.

Can clearly play, just not cut out for the pace and hustle and bustle nature of the PL. not the first, won’t be the last. Awful injury too tbf.

It’s annoying, but we really need to start looking for athletic type players as a priority. So many slow softarses that are blowing after an hour have represented us in recent times.

This. Good player. Wrong time, wrong place.

I think it's the first time I've ever heard of Lorient football club in any context. I'd say it's a big day for them.

Is surprising considering ETH was going to build his team around him...?

Totally the wrong move for him and us.

At the time, I thought he'd be the game change we desperately needed

Can't imagine a more anonymous signing

The Scottish Player is athletic....

The problem with Van Der Beek is that he's shit. A bit like Blind, he came, he failed and he left. Both were apparently very 'technical' players, yet 9 times out of 10 you wouldn't notice they're even on the pitch.

Llorient are obviously taking a big gamble on him but maybe it will work out for them. Shame it's just a loan as we'll probably see him again in 12 months time and we'll hear how he's ready for a rebirth at Old Trafford.

Definitely the wrong player but not sure about the time or place. Did well in a very good side in a dog shit league and had a decent run one year in the CL. Everton fans hated him after two or three games.

Loan isn’t good enough, he’s one of the biggest turds that need flushing but no one will ever be daft enough to pay actual money for him. Just terminate his contract and be done.
