Manchester United's draw against Chelsea and the allegations on the referee after the game weren't the only embarrassing moments to mark the fixture. Dutch midfielder Donny van de Beek was left embarrassed after he mistakenly ended up in the ladies toilet at Stamford Bridge even as the game progressed towards a goalless draw in the second half.

Van de Beek ends up in ladies toilet mistakenly 

Van de Beek was restricted to the bench for the 23rd time across competitions this season. And at around the 80th minute, the Netherlands international was spotted heading towards the ladies toilet at Stamford Bridge. It appears that he misread the door signs resulting in the mishappening. 

Interestingly, the toilets are located close to the bench — where players and staff were sitting. And the former AFC Ajax superstar, who failed to bag a single minute against the Blues, was fortunate enough that the toilet was empty when he entered it by mistake.

Van de Beek's struggle under Solskjaer continues 

Van de Beek has racked up a mere 13 appearances in the Premier League ever since his move to Old Trafford last summer. His lack of game time is suggestive of the manager's lack of faith in the midfielder. During the 13 appearances in the Premier League, he has netted just once.

Former Man United midfielder Luke Chadwick believes Van de Beek could be out of the club next summer. Speaking to CaughtOffside, he said, "It doesn’t look good for Van de Beek in terms of the very limited game time that he’s had, he didn’t even come on yesterday (against Chelsea)."
