- Van de Beek monitored by Ajax
- Club looking to loan midfielder
- United looking to offload
WHAT HAPPENED? Since moving for £35 million, the Dutch international has had a horrible three years at Old Trafford. He overcame a severe knee injury that caused him to miss the last few months of the previous season. However, it doesn't seem likely that he will push his way into the mix under Erik ten Hag. Ajax are monitoring their budget after failing to make the Champions League last season, but a loan move may be an option as per The Sun.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: United have been hoping to complete midfield departures as early as possible, having already sold Fred to Fenerbahce, as the Red Devils are also looking to bring in a new midfielder to bolster their squad. It is reported that Sofyan Amrabat is likely to be the new signing as Ten Hag likes the Moroccan star.

WHAT NEXT? There are still yet to be concrete talks between the two clubs and Van der Beek, therefore, a move could be still some distance away.
