After two years in Manchester, Donny van de Beek is looking to turn his career around. The Dutch midfielder joined United from Ajax in 2020 for a hefty £35 million, but failed to make an impact under former manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. When Ralf Rangnick was appointed, he saw an opportunity and joined Everton on loan.
Unfortunately, a knee injury in December 2022 prematurely ended his stay with the Toffees. Van de Beek has played just 21 minutes of action this season, with two of those coming in the Premier League.
Van de Beek has now joined Frankfurt on loan in a bid to revive his career. The German side have the option of signing him permanently at the end of the loan spell, with a £10 million fee plus potential add-ons.
United are keen to make room for new arrivals this month and are open to offers for Anthony Martial, Jadon Sancho, Casemiro and Raphael Varane. As for David De Gea, he is reportedly considering retirement after being told he can leave the club.
Van de Beek will be hoping that his move to Frankfurt will be the fresh start he needs. His time at United saw him make 62 appearances and score just two goals. Now the Dutchman will be looking to put his injury woes behind him and focus on getting his career back on track.
