Arriving in 2020 at Manchester United, Donny van de Beek never made his mark with the Red Devils. He was loaned with an option to buy to Eintracht Frankfurt.
Manchester United’s recruitment policy has proven disastrous in recent seasons. The number of flops has continued to increase and among all these failed players at Old Trafford, Donny van de Beek was not the least. Recruited for nearly forty million euros from Ajax Amsterdam, the midfielder has never managed to establish himself under the orders of his various coaches. Loaned last year to Everton, he returned this summer. No longer used by Erik ten Hag, the player decided to go to Eintracht Frankfurt, in the form of loan.
With only twenty-one minutes of play on the clock since the start of the season, the Dutchman had understood that he would only play useful if he remained in the squad. Red Devils. He therefore chose to go to Germany, to Randal Kolo Muani’s former club. His loan comes with a purchase option valued at just over thirteen million euros, all inclusive. During his time at Manchester United, he only took part in sixty-two matches. A misery for a player who was nevertheless brilliant during his years at Ajax.

Winning bet?
Sixth in the Bundesliga, Eintracht hopes that its bet to revive a player left in the cellar for more than three years will pay off. Donny van de Beek will undoubtedly do his best to convince Frankfurt to keep him. He is undoubtedly the one who has the most to gain (or lose) in the story.
