fallen Manchester United star has contacted Barcelona to try and engineer a shock transfer, Chelsea look set to miss out on a midfield target as he is poised to move elsewhere, while Tuesday’s Euro Paper Talk includes Manchester City receiving an unconvincing offer for one of their players.
MAN UTD PLAYER IN STUNNING APPROACH
Man Utd outcast Donny van de Beek has incredibly tried to engineer a move to Barcelona by ‘offering himself’ to the Spanish giants, according to reports.
Van De Beek has had a hugely disappointing spell at Old Trafford since joining Man Utd from Ajax in September 2020. He has failed to convince numerous managers on his ability and has resultantly had to play a bit-part role in the team.
While he has made 62 appearances in all competitions, he has only actually played 2152 minutes, which works out at just 24 full games.
Van De Beek is currently enduring a particularly frustrating campaign, as he has only played twice so far. That is despite Netherlands compatriot Erik ten Hag being expected to revive his career when he arrived at Man Utd last summer.
On November 25, Van De Beek openly admitted he is looking to find a new club so he can get back to his best. He said: “I need to start playing games very soon – if not at Man Utd then at another club. I think I have to be ambitious.
“I have always been a lover of the game. I am absolutely crazy about football. I earn a good living at United, but money is not my motivation. I want to enjoy my work every day.
