Donny van de Beek has been linked with a move away from Manchester United this summer, with Galatarasay plotting a late swoop.
Donny van de Beek has struggled for regular game time since moving to Old Trafford, and he has not been able to fulfil this potential at Manchester United. A report from Daily Mail claims that Turkish outfit Galatasaray are now discussing a late loan move for him.
The Dutch playmaker was highly rated around Europe when he joined Manchester United in a £40 million deal. He was a key player for Ajax, helping them reach the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League before leaving the club.
The 26-year-old was expected to develop into a world-class player at Manchester United. But things have not gone according to plan for him. The midfielder has had his fair share of injury problems, and he has struggled to hold down a regular starting spot in the side as well.
Van de Beek needs to leave Manchester United to play regularly and continue his development. Recently, there were reports that Manchester United have agreed on a loan deal with French club Lorient for the midfielder. But it seems that the player is unwilling to join them..
It will be interesting to see if Galatasaray can secure an agreement with Manchester United for the Dutchman and whether the player is keen to complete the transfer. The 26-year-old could be a quality addition for the Turkish club, and he will add technical ability and creativity to their midfield.
It is evident that he does not have a future at Manchester United. So the Red Devils should look to cut their losses on him as soon as possible. A permanent exit seems unlikely this summer. So a loan move would be ideal for all parties.
If he manages to impress during his loan spell in Turkey, Galatasaray might be open to signing Donny van de Beek permanently at the end of the season. Meanwhile, Manchester United should look to bring in midfield reinforcements as well. They have already sanctioned the departure of Fred to Turkey, and Scott McTominay has been linked with an exit as well.
