Newcastle United are interested in acquiring the services of 26-year-old Manchester United outcast Donny van de Beek.
According to a report by Fichajes, Newcastle United are keen on reinforcing their midfield in the winter transfer window, and they have their eyes set on Donny van de Beek. The 26-year-old Dutch international is way down the pecking order at Manchester United and is looking to part ways with the club as he seeks regular first-team minutes.
Donny van de Beek made quite a name for himself while he was at Ajax. He came up the ranks at the Dutch club and became one of the mainstays of the team. His impressive performances resulted in a lot of interest, and he ended up joining Manchester United in the summer of 2020.
The 26-year-old was expected to establish himself as a regular for Red Devils. But, things have not gone according to plan for van de Beek since he made the move to England. He has failed to make the best use of the limited chances he has had, and the Dutchman is currently way down the pecking order in the team.
He was expected to have a better role under Erik ten Hag, but even that hasn’t happened. In the ongoing season, he has featured in two matches and has been on the pitch for a total of just 21 minutes.
The 26-year-old is not happy with his situation and is ready to part ways with the club as he looks to revive his career. Newcastle United could be a potential destination for the former Ajax star. The Magpies are looking to reinforce their midfield in the upcoming winter transfer window, and they have their eyes on the Manchester United outcast.
Eddie Howe’s team have done a decent job so far this season. But, the Newcastle United boss feels they need reinforcement to ensure they can repeat what they did last season. Multiple injuries in the centre of the park and the 10-month-long ban that has been handed to Sandro Tonali for his involvement in illegal betting have forced them to look for a new midfielder.
While van de Beek might have failed to get going at Manchester United, Newcastle United feel a change could help his cause. Meanwhile, Manchester United might not have a problem parting ways with the 26-year-old in the winter if they receive the right offer. They have enough depth and his absence won’t trouble Ten Hag’s plans.
