Donny van de Beek Handed Man Utd Lifeline by Erik Ten Hag

Manchester United midfielder Donny van de Beek has been included in the club’s Premier League squad after failing to secure a summer move away from Old Trafford.

Donny van de Beek has been registered in Manchester United’s 25-man Premier League squad after seeing a proposed transfer to Fenerbahce collapse.

Van de Beek, 26, has struggled to make any sort of impression at Old Trafford since completing a £35million switch from Ajax back in 2020 and was expected to move on from the club in the summer transfer window.

However, Van de Beek failed to secure a switch before the English window shut earlier this month. And despite reports claiming the Dutchman could still move on before the Turkish transfer deadline, it now seems likely that Van de Beek will be staying put until January.

Reports in Turkey had outlined that Fenerbahce were weighing up a swoop for Van de Beek, however, it is now being claimed that the SuperLig giants are exploring other options.

That means Van de Beek is now expected to stay at Old Trafford at least until the transfer window reopens in January; a development that has been reflected by the inclusion of the midfielder in Manchester United’s official Premier League squad list.

Despite omitting him the club’s Champions League squad, Erik ten Hag has included Van de Beek in the 25-man list that the club submitted to the league on Wednesday.
