Donny van de Beek’s loan move from Manchester United to Eintracht Frankfurt has taken a disappointing turn, marked by a humiliating substitution during last night’s 1-0 win over Mainz. The Dutch international, who arrived at Frankfurt with hopes of rejuvenating his career, was taken off at half-time after a lackluster performance in the No.10 position.
Van de Beek’s struggles in England, characterized by injuries and limited playing time, prompted his loan move to Frankfurt, where he has started all three games since his arrival. However, the recent substitution adds to concerns about his impact and potential permanency at the Bundesliga side. Despite United splashing out £34 million for Van de Beek in 2020, the midfielder has faced challenges in making an impact, making only six Premier League starts. His loan move to Everton also failed to significantly improve his fortunes.
With 18 months remaining on his contract at Old Trafford, the loan to Frankfurt, with an option to make the deal permanent, seemed like an opportunity for a fresh start. However, the recent substitution and underwhelming stats, including just eight passes and no shots, raise questions about Van de Beek’s ability to convince Frankfurt to sign him permanently.
Here is the highlight video of Frankfurt vs. Mainz, which ended with a 1-0 victory for Frankfurt.
