DONNY VAN DE BEEK blames himself for Young Boys’ shock 1-1 draw at Manchester United.
The Holland star, a rarely-used sub under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, was given a chance in midfield as new interim boss Ralf Rangnick made mass changes.
But the former Ajax main man night fear he has dented his hopes of finally securing a Premier League start as United faded in their final Champions League group game
Van de Beek played the whole 90 minutes despite Rangnick bringing on four youngsters as United had already won their group.
Striker Mason Greenwood sent his own chances of more regular action soaring with a nifty opener
But VDB mishit a pass to United right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka that enabled Fabian Rieder to nip in for a deserved equaliser.
And Van de Beek told MUTV: “For me, lost the ball in the middle, maybe I should kick the ball away.
“I didn’t do that. I take my responsibility for that.
‘And after that I think it was a little bit difficult.
“I think we didn’t get enough pressure on them, with the ball as well we lost too many balls and it’s really difficult to command the game.”

But until that point VDB and Co looked comfortable.
And the 19-cap star, 24, added: “I think first 30 minutes was okay.
“We made a good goal from Mason, after that we have a few chances to make it 2-0 or 3-0.
‘We didn’t do that. I think if we’d done that it would have been much easier.”
