Dutch international Van de Beek made a £35 million ($44m) move to Old Trafford in 2020, but his time with the Red Devils has been marked by limited game time, featuring in only 62 matches. Despite loan spells at Everton and Eintracht Frankfurt, no permanent deals were struck.

Van de Beek is set to return to England over the summer, but his agent confirmed that a new move will be arranged. Guido Albers informed ESPN’s Goedemorgen Eredivisie about the desire for a fresh challenge: “For me it is a very nice moment in his career to pick it up again. We said together, ‘back to basics’. He’s lost that a bit in recent years. He is hungry and eager to please. I came to an agreement with Frankfurt for him. Frankfurt still had an option until June 30, which they will not exercise. Officially he is now going back to Manchester United and I am now in discussions with him. Donny does not want to stay in the Premier League, also because United do not want that. That is not a good choice for him.”

While dismissing the idea of moving to another English club, Albers also ruled out a return to Van de Beek’s former team. Looking ahead, he outlined potential options: “He needs to return to a club that plays good football. In any case, he will not return to Ajax. My preference was to look in Spain, Italy or France. If I could get him in Spain or Italy that would be fantastic, at a club where he will play as a No.10 like he played at Ajax. You see that the Dutch are successful in a certain way in Spanish or Italian football. He was very close to a transfer to Real Sociedad last summer. That was cancelled at the last minute because Erik ten Hag wanted to keep him until the last minute. Then he ended up at Frankfurt.”

With Van de Beek entering the final year of his contract with United, it’s crucial for them to find a buyer this summer while still being able to command a fee. At 27 years old, the creative midfielder needs a club that can reignite his once-promising career.
