Ten Hag blocks midfielder from joining Man Utd’s rivals

Guido Albers, representing Manchester United’s Donny van de Beek, stated that the club is reluctant to sell the player to another Premier League team this summer. Van de Beek, who was brought to Old Trafford from Ajax by Red Devils boss Erik ten Hag in a £40 million deal in 2020, has struggled to establish himself at the club.

Despite spending the second half of the season on loan at Eintracht Frankfurt, who had an option to buy him for £9.5 million until June 30, they have decided not to exercise that option.

“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. 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,” Albers told ESPN.
