Van de Beek, who netted the decisive goal in United’s narrow 1-0 triumph against Lyon in a pre-season friendly the previous month, is currently in negotiation with Real Sociedad regarding a potential transfer.
Three years ago, Manchester United signed the Dutch international for a fee of £35 million. Despite his potential, Van de Beek has not lived up to expectations in the Premier League. Even the introduction of his previous Ajax manager, Erik ten Hag, last year has not significantly improved his performance.
Van de Beek was on the starting lineup for the concluding pre-season match versus Athletic Bilbao in Dublin, only to be substituted at half-time.
Van de Beek is amongst the peripheral players that Manchester United is eager to transfer, with an aim to gather additional funds for Ten Hag to strengthen his team this summer.
Dean Henderson, United’s goalkeeper, might return to Nottingham Forest, where he spent the previous season on loan. However, his situation is intricate due to a thigh injury he sustained in January, preventing him from participating in any pre-season matches.
Eric Bailly, a defender from the Ivory Coast, has been informed to search for a new club as he doesn’t fit into Ten Hag’s future strategy.
Furthermore, Fulham has expressed interest in Brazilian midfielder Fred, though no concrete offer has yet been proposed.

The number of good players being wasted at United is a real shame. Bailly, Fred, now Donny… shaking my head here, folks!
Poor Donny. not given a real chance. He was amazing at Ajax. Hope Sociedad will treat him better!
If he does go, will be sad to see him leave. But ultimately, gotta do whats right for the club. Hope Ten Hag knows what he’s doin’.
VdB never got the chance he deserved at United. Hope he can do great things at Sociedad!
Not really happy about this.. Donny should have been given more time on the pitch. Van de Beek’s got potential, just needs the right setup, thats all.
