According to a report from Mirror, Manchester United midfielder, Donny van de Beek, is interested in a loan switch to Eintracht Frankfurt. It has been stated that Eintracht Frankfurt lead the competition for his signing, even ahead of Girona, who are currently surprising everyone by topping the La Liga table. United is prepared to let the 26-year-old van de Beek depart in January, with Erik ten Hag indicating the possibility of his exit.
Van De Beek’s Disappointing Performance And Loan Period Last Season
The underwhelming loan spell at Everton began for Van De Beek in January, following two challenging seasons at Manchester United. During his time with the Toffees, the 25-year-old featured in seven Premier League matches and scored a solitary goal towards the end of the season. With only two appearances this season, it’s apparent that Erik Ten Hag doesn’t have immediate plans for him.
Van De Beek struggled to secure a regular spot in the central midfield for both clubs last season. Statistical analysis reflects an average of 0.5 shots, 0.4 key passes, 0.4 dribbles, 1.4 tackles, and 0.7 interceptions per game in the Premier League. However, he exhibited proficiency in passing, boasting an 82.7% completion rate for attempted passes in English top-tier matches (statistics sourced from whoscored).
Should He Choose To Exit Manchester United In January?
Donny Van De Beek showcases impressive defensive abilities, excelling in tackling and actively supporting the team’s defensive efforts. He willingly confronts challenges, clearing threats from opponents, while also displaying an aptitude for scoring goals and setting up opportunities in attack.
At 25, there’s significant room for him to hone his skills and enhance his performance further, aiming to reach his highest potential. It appears crucial for him, at this stage of his career, to seek regular playing time. Therefore, opting to leave Old Trafford in January seems like a definite choice for him.
