# Manchester United: Fans react to Ralf Rangnick’s Donny van de Beek plan

**Manchester United interim boss Ralf Rangnick has decided to keep hold of Donny van de Beek during the January transfer window, according to [The Mirror’s David McDonnell](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/ralf-rangnick-decides-anthony-martial-25725630?1=).**

Van de Beek is reportedly ‘valued’ by the German coach and as such, he ‘will not be allowed to leave’ at the turn of the year.

### Opportunities under Rangnick?

Rangnick has only taken charge of three games so far, but Van de Beek has been [involved each time](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/donny-van-de-beek/leistungsdaten/spieler/288255). He was handed brief run-outs in the 1-0 victories over Crystal Palace and Norwich City and played the full 90 minutes of United’s final Champions League group stage game against Young Boys.

The [£22.5million-rated](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/donny-van-de-beek/profil/spieler/288255) midfielder still has [at least three and a half years](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/donny-van-de-beek/profil/spieler/288255) left on his contract at Old Trafford, having joined from Ajax in 2019.

Van de Beek scored the final goal of the Ole Gunnar Solskjaer era in the 4-1 defeat away to Watford in November, and was hailed by ex-United player Owen Hargreaves for an [‘absolutely fabulous’](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/manchester-united-van-de-beek-22228353) display.

Fan feed [Utd Report](https://twitter.com/utdreport/status/1471844292490678277) relayed McDonnell’s claim, and here’s what supporters made of it, feeling he can recapture the type of form he enjoyed with Ajax, where he bagged [41 goals and 34 assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/donny-van-de-beek/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/288255) in 175 games.
