Manchester UnitedmidfielderDonny van de Beekwill be ‘ready to move on’ from Old Trafford this summer in search of a ‘fresh start’, journalistDean Joneshas told GIVEMESPORT.
Since arriving at United, the19-capNetherland international’s three-year association at the club has been ladened with form and ιɴjυɾу problems.
Manchester United transfer news – Donny van de Beek
The English heavyweights thought that they had picked up a dazzling, European-proven midfielder in Van de Beek after forking out just£40mfor his signature.
But the midfielder has found it difficult to establish himself as a nailed-on starter at the club and his days seem numbered.
Back in April,Football Insiderɾєρօɾτed that his former club Ajax are now mulling over a potential return, with United believed to be willing to let him depart for £25m.
Fabrizio Romanoalso recently ɾєρօɾτed the wantaway ace will seek to explore options in the market, despite his undying love for the club and his fellow countryman Erik ten Hag.
What did Dean Jones say aboutManchester Unitedand Donny van de Beek?
On the Dutchman, Jones claimed that Van de Beek’s time at United has not been as fruitful as all parties would have hoped and that a fresh start elsewhere may be the best-case scenario.
“You’d think he was ready to move on by this point. We’ve spoken about his various times thɾօυɢҺout the season and just nothing has fallen his way in terms of making this transfer take off.
“It has been quite a fɾυȿτɾɑting time for everybody involved, and you would imagine that from his point of view, he might welcome a fresh start at this point.”
DoesDonny van de Beekhave a future at Manchester United?
The 26-year-old only amassed ten appearances across all competitions, perTransfermarkt, before picking up a season-єɴԀing ιɴjυɾу against Bournemouth.
The midfielder failed to register either a goal or assist in that sequence, but his poor 2022/23 season mirrored his stint in England altogether as he has amassed just60 gamesfor United, with four goal involvements to show.
Having gone on loan to Everton during the 2021/22 season, there was a growing hope that he would return to Old Trafford with a point to prove, but this was not the case.
Bruno Fernandes is integral to how United operate, meaning the former Ajax ace will act as his understudy should he remain in Manchester.
And with the additions of Casemiro and Christian Eriksen last summer and a potential newcomer this summer, too, Van de Beek’s minutes are probably going to take more of a hit.
