Administrator Batard Posted August 30, 2020 Administrator Share Posted August 30, 2020 They really need to shore up that defence rather than add even more goals. That aside, would be a decent addition to midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted August 31, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted August 31, 2020 Tottenham Hotspur failed with last-minute attempt to snatch Donny van de Beek away from Man United However, despite how quickly this story developed, it perhaps wasn’t as straightforward as United fans may have thought as a recent report from The Mirror claim that Jose Mourinho’s Tottenham Hotspur tried to scupper United’s plans with a last-minute bid to try and snatch van de Beek away from Old Trafford. It appears that Spurs’ last-ditch efforts have proved to be unsuccessful as van de Beek edges closer to being officially announced as United’s first senior transfer of this summer’s window.

(Stretty News) He was never going to Spurs. I'm actually surprised he didn't move to Real, as seemed likely 12 months ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would go with that one, quite surprised Ole went for another m/f when I read the news last night, but see how it goes, the lad sounds tasty and I have just read Real were showing interest in the young lad as you said. https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11667/11973700/donny-van-de-beek-why-do-manchester-united-want-to-sign-the-ajax-midfielder Van de Beek was close to joining Real Madrid prior to the coronavirus pandemic but he did not complete a medical or sign an agreement with the club.

Chaaay AFC Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Perfect age and a really good modern midfielder. Top signing by United, I think £40m is a very decent price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Cracking little player. Where is he going to play though? Fernandes will stay as a 10 surely so assuming Pogba stays and is fit, will Van De Beek be played as a defensive midfielder? Surely you'd be taking away his qualities pulling him too far back. He always seemed to me to be great getting forward hence his impressive goals and assists record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it also future-proofs them for when/if Pogba leaves. Or, forgetting anything Pogba-related, there's bound to be some rotation given the congested schedule.
