‘Talks Are Advancing’: Bundesliga and La Liga Clubs in Race to Sign ‘Really Intelligent’ Manchester United Player – Erik Ten Hag have finally made up His mind to let Him leave
It could be a busy January transfer window at Old Trafford with a couple of out-of-favour players likely to move on. Fabrizio Romano reveals that there is significant interest, from clubs across Europe, in Dutch international Donny van de Beek.

£39 Million and 62 Appearances – Van De Beek Did Not Adapt at Old Trafford
After starring for an Ajax side that reached the Champions League semi-finals in 2019, European clubs were lining up a move for the attacking midfielder. Manchester United secured his signature in the summer of 2020, and there were high expectations after his excellent performances in the Eredivisie.
The 26-year-old had a knack for scoring important goals including the opener in the 2-1 victory over Juventus in the 2019 Champions League quarter-finals and also the winner at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium in the subsequent semi-final. His work-rate and ability in both boxes made him one of the most highly-rated box-to-box midfielders in world football.
However, after just two goals and two assists it is time for Van de Beek to move on to resurrect his career. It might be worth mentioning that his game time has been limited to just six Premier League starts over more than three years since his arrival at the Red Devils and it appears that the transfer was just not the right fit for the club or the player.
Injuries have also affected his availability but he has failed to prove his worth whenever he has been given the opportunity either in the starting lineup or when coming on as a substitute.
