Confirmed: Manchester United flop to leave the club in January

According to Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Manchester United flop Donny Van de Beek will likely live the club in January.

The Dutchman was expected to leave Old Trafford during the summer having been deemed surplus to requirements.

However, Romano has revealed the player will certainly leave the club when the winter window reopens.

“Donny van de Beek – A January departure is expected and very likely for Donny van de Beek after he almost left in the summer,” said Romano on Caught Offside.

“It’s too early to mention specific clubs but he was really close to Real Sociedad in August, then nothing happened.

“It’s sad to see him struggle at Manchester United as he looked like such a fine prospect at Ajax, but I think he’s been really unlucky with injuries, and also didn’t receive the confidence he needed in some crucial moments under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.”

Van de Beek joined the club in the summer of 2020 in €45 million deal from Ajax.

However, the midfielder has failed to live up to expectations – scoring just two goals and providing two assists in all competitions over the last three years.

He made just two Premier League starts last season – and seven appearances in all – and was on the pitch for only 164 minutes in total. He had no goal contributions.

This season, Van de Beek has played just two minutes of football in the Premier League.
