Done deal, Paperwork follows; Man united announce the departure of veteran South American man, Erik Ten Hag also want to add Osimhen or Mbappe

Manchester United star Donny van de Beek has reached the ‘end of his Old Trafford career’ as a loan move to Eintracht Frankfurt is expected to be rubber-stamped this week, and transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has exclusively told GIVEMESPORT the final steps to overcome before the Dutchman’s switch is formally announced.

Having been eliminated from the Champions League despite spending close to £175million on reinforcements during the summer, Manchester United will have an opportunity to freshen up their squad when the winter window opens for business at the turn of the year.

Van de Beek on cusp of sealing move
Van de Beek is on the brink of joining Eintracht Frankfurt on loan for the remainder of the season, according to transfer expert Romano, after arriving in Germany to undergo medical tests ahead of officially linking up with his new teammates when the window opens in the coming days.

The Italian journalist suggests the Bundesliga outfit could fork out up to £12.9million in order to turn the temporary deal into a permanent agreement if the 19-cap Netherlands international, who has been restricted to just 21 minutes of action this season, impresses during his spell at Deutsche Bank Park.

It is understood that Eintracht Frankfurt will also part with a loan fee after a verbal agreement was reached with Manchester United last week, with them being keen to win the race for van de Beek’s signature after noticing an opportunity to pounce.

Van de Beek has been unable to work his way into the forefront of ten Hag’s plans since his fellow countryman arrived in the Manchester United dugout last year, despite flourishing under his tutelage while they were both at Ajax.

It is understood that Frankfurt were keen to make their move ahead of the January window as Ajax, Crystal Palace, Fulham, Girona and Real Sociedad have also shown interest, while it will allow him to settle in his new surroundings before the Bundesliga’s winter break comes to an end.

Fabrizio Romano update – Donny van de Beek
Romano is confident that van de Beek has already made the final Manchester United appearance of his career as a temporary move to Eintracht Frankfurt could allow him to rediscover the form he enjoyed while on Ajax’s books.

The respected reporter understands that the deal is close to completion, with medical test results and signing the contract being the final obstacles before the £120,000-per-week earner is officially unveiled as Die Adler’s latest addition.

When asked whether it is likely that van de Beek will not play for Manchester United again, Romano told GIVEMESPORT:

“I think yes. That’s my opinion, obviously, because maybe he will go to Frankfurt and do great. I wish him well because he is a fantastic guy and a great player, but I think it’s the end of his Manchester United career.

“He needs to go and will be a Frankfurt player this week. Everything will be completed in terms of medical tests and the contract signing.

“He really needs to play and do something different. He needs a different environment because, at Manchester United, he was a bit unlucky with injuries and it was not the right moment for him.”

Reguilon could follow van de Beek through exit door
Sergio Reguilon has emerged as Borussia Dortmund’s top target ahead of the transfer window reopening for business, according to Sky Sports Germany reporter Patrick Berger, and Manchester United could help to facilitate the move.

The reputable journalist suggests there is a break clause in the temporary agreement which took the Spain international to Old Trafford hours before the summer deadline, and the Bundesliga giants have made an enquiry over a six-month loan.

That is because the left-back has been pinpointed as a potential acquisition by Serie A side Roma, with former Manchester United chief Jose Mourinho approving a January move as he seeks a potential replacement for Leonardo Spinazzola.

Reguilon has made 10 appearances since linking up with the Red Devils, although he was an unused substitute as ten Hag’s charges recovered from their Champions League exit by grabbing a point against arch-rivals Liverpool last weekend.
