# Wolves: Journalist provides Donny van de Beek update

**Wolves transfer target Donny van de Beek plans to leave Manchester United in January if he is not granted more chances in the coming weeks, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano.**

### The Lowdown: Van de Beek linked with Wolves move

The Dutchman joined United with a big reputation in September 2020, having starred for Ajax in 2018/19 as they nearly reached the Champions League final.

Van de Beek has had a torrid time of things at Old Trafford, however, [starting just four Premier League matches](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/275035/History/Donny-van-de-Beek) in his entire spell there.

The 24-year-old has been [linked](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/wolves-transfer-rumours/wolves-hatfield-van-de-beek-transfer-talk/) with a January move to Wolves and now another key update has emerged regarding his future.

### The Latest: Romano gives fresh update

Taking to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1461238980033359876?s=20) on Thursday, Romano confirmed that the Netherlands international is planning to leave United in January unless something drastically changes in terms of playing time:

> ‘The plan is still to leave Man Utd in January if he’s not gonna be involved in Solskjær team in the next weeks.”

### The Verdict: Ideal for all parties

Van de Beek has shown that he is a quality footballer for Ajax – he [scored 41 goals and registered 34 assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/donny-van-de-beek/alletore/spieler/288255) for the Eredivisie giants and been [hailed](https://metro.co.uk/2020/11/25/owen-hargreaves-tells-ole-gunnar-solskjear-to-start-close-to-perfect-man-utd-star-13656332/) as ‘perfect’ by Owen Hargreaves – it is sad to see him rotting at United and failing to reach his potential.

Wolves could offer him the perfect way out, with Bruno Lage perhaps promising him a key role and the Dutchman giving the Wanderers’ midfield an injection of attacking quality and end product.

If a deal could be struck it would be a big boost for Wolves in the second half of the season, as they look to secure a top-half finish.
