Donny van de Beek has had a nightmare spell since joining Manchester United, with the Eintracht Frankfurt loan not working either.
Donny van de Beek joined Eintracht Frankfurt on loan during the January transfer window, and there were rumours that the Bundesliga club could look to sign him permanently at the end of the season. However, a report by Daily Mirror has claimed that they will not sign the 26-year-old on a permanent deal.
Eintracht Frankfurt have an option to buy the player for £ 12.5 million plus add-ons. It seems that the Dutch international will continue at Old Trafford. Donny van de Beek has failed to establish himself as an important first-team player under multiple Manchester United managers, and it is clear that he does not have a future at Old Trafford.
A permanent exit could have been ideal for all parties. The midfielder has a contract with Manchester United until the summer of 2025, and the Red Devils will be hoping to sell him for a nominal price in the summer. It remains to be seen where he ends up.
The 26-year-old was regarded as one of the finest midfield talents in European football during his time at Ajax. He even guided them to the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League during the 2018/19 season.
Donny van de Beek needs to leave at all costs
Donny van de Beek has never really managed to adapt to English football, and the move to Manchester United has not worked out. Both parties will be determined to see the back of each other in the summer, and it remains to be seen how the situation unfolds.
There is no doubt that the 26-year-old is a technically-gifted midfielder who is capable of operating at a high level. However, his confidence and belief is completely shot to pieces, and it seems highly unlikely that the Dutchman will be able to recover and become the player he was destined to be.
Manchester United must look to sell him at all costs and invest the proceeds from his departure on someone who can help the team. They need to bring in a creative midfielder who can score goals as well. The Ajax version of van de Beek could have been a key player for Manchester United this season, and it remains to be seen whether the Red Devils can sign someone like him in the summer.
