Donny van de Beek is ready to embark on a 'new chapter' as he leaves Manchester United for Eintracht Frankfurt on loan for the rest of the season. The 26-year-old has had a difficult time since joining United from Ajax in 2020, not managing to convince Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Ralf Rangnick or Erik ten Hag to give him a regular place in the team.
Van de Beek has only made 62 appearances for United, scoring two goals, with only two outings in the current campaign. He went on loan to Everton in the second half of 2021-22 season, but that didn't help him get his career back on track. He is now hoping that a move to the Bundesliga will spark a revival and the loan move to Frankfurt was confirmed on New Year's Day, with the club having an option to buy him in the summer.
Van de Beek shared his excitement on Instagram, saying "New year, new chapter! Really happy to be part of this great club." He also posted a video in which he said, “Hello Eintracht fans, it’s Donny here. I’m very happy that I can join you guys. I can’t wait to start and I hope to see you soon in the stadium. All the best.”
Markus Krösche, Eintracht's 'board member for sport' had praise for Van de Beek, saying, “Donny van de Beek fits our playing philosophy perfectly and is an important piece of the puzzle for our squad. He brings plenty of international experience, which our young players will profit from. Donny also carries a goal threat and should be particularly useful when it comes to getting our forwards into promising positions.”
Van de Beek's move to Frankfurt marks the end of his Manchester United nightmare and the beginning of a new chapter in his career. He will hope to make the most of this opportunity and show fans and coaches alike what he is capable of.
