Man Utd flop to leave Old Trafford this summer after disappointing three-year stay

Donny van de Beek will explore his transfer options as he looks set to leave Manchester United this summer.

The Dutchman moved to Old Trafford in 2020 with a big reputation after impressing everyone with his performances at Ajax. However, his stay at United has been a huge disappointment.

Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Van de Beek will look for options this summer as he wants to play regularly next season.

United’s number 34 has been on the sidelines since he suffered a knee injury against Bournemouth in January. 

Donny van de Beek should leave Old Trafford to reboot his career

In three years of his stay at the Theatre of Dreams, Van de Beek has featured just 60 times for the Red Devils.

He made only ten appearances in the 2022/23 campaign, of which six came from the bench.

When Ole Gunnar Solskjaer signed Van de Beek, many questioned what role the latter would perform as United already had the likes of Paul Pogba, Bruno Fernandes and Nemanja Matic ahead of him.

The 26-year-old has struggled with both form and fitness. In all fairness, he has not been given a long rope to succeed like Scott McTominay or Fred.

He was loaned out to Everton but failed to shine at Goodison Park.

With the arrival of Erik ten Hag at United, many thought it would be a turning point in Van de Beek’s career. The duo worked together at Ajax and did wonders for the club.

However, the Dutch international failed to revive his career.

It is time for him to move on.

He will struggle to play regularly at Old Trafford, with Casemiro, Eriksen, and Fernandes ahead of him in the pecking order.

United have been linked to sign Mason Mount in this transfer window. If he does switch to the Theatre of Dreams, Van de Beek will see even less game time. 

It only makes sense that the midfielder looks for a fresh start now.
