Manchester United: Fans slam Donny van de Beek after news emerges
According to ESPN, Manchester United have a long-standing interest in Donny van de Beek but the club had accepted that he preferred Real Madrid, via @utdreport.
Chief football writer Mark Ogden told the outlet Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had considered a move for Van de Beek back in January, but the club turned their attentions to signing Bruno Fernandes instead.
However, the Red Devils are now in pole position to sign the Ajax midfielder after Madrid decided to recall players from loans.
The football journalist believes Ajax will be vulnerable to a lucrative offer for the youngster, having been knocked out of the Champions League in the group stages.
Who should United sign?
Jack Grealish
Donny van de Beek
Ever since he broke into the first team, the 23-year-old has become a man in-demand, as he played 23 games in the Eredivisie this season, scoring 8 goals, creating 5 assists, taking 1.9 shots per game, averaging 1.8 key passes, and completing 1 dribble on average (via WhoScored).
Indeed, the Dutch international finished the campaign with a higher WhoScored rating than Jack Grealish, who has also been linked with a move to Old Trafford.
Unsurprisingly, it seems many United fans are unhappy about seemingly being Van de Beek’s second choice, as several slammed the transfer update on social media, with a supporter tweeting it is “embarrassing,” while another added “no thanks.” One fan even tweeted it would be a “mistake” to sign the Dutchman in the summer, which is harsh considering his performances this season.
Scroll through some of the scathing reactions so far…

We only need a right winger in midfield and Donny could do that, but he wouldn’t be great at it. This would be a mistake

Why go after someone who didn’t want to come to Man United? So just because Real Madrid have no intentions of buying players now he is considering coming to United, it means he is not coming because he wants to but jst bcoz its the only team available at the moment.

A player never chooses us as a second option. You want Man United as your dream club, We choose who plays for us.
