The player’s representative hinted that his client is open to leaving
Jose Mourinho prioritized bolstering Manchester United squad in the summer transfer window after not winning a single silverware last season. They signed Fred, Diogo Dalot and Lee Grant before the transfer deadline.
However, the Portuguese was not happy with the outcome of the transfer window as he wanted few more players especially a high profile centre-back and a direct, fast winger to complete his squad.
The Red Devils are struggling right now after failing to win their last 4 fixtures across all competitions. They have made their worst start to a Premier League season ever, and the slowest in England’s top flight since 1989-90, with a 3-1 defeat to West Ham on Saturday.
However, it has been suggested that the manager will look to make few additions in the January transfer window to mount a Premier League title challenge and will be backed by the club.
The Premier League giants have been linked with a move for Ajax star Donny van de Beek in the past transfer window and is one of several much sought-after assets currently on the books at the Johan Cruyff Arena.
But the midfielder has shunned those admiring glances so far, with the exciting talent opting to further his development in the familiar surrounds of his homeland.
But United have been offered in pursuit of the Dutch International as he is reconsidering his options after starting just two Eredivisie games in 2018-19 and may be ready to open the door to his suitors in the upcoming recruitment windows.
Van de Beek’s representative Guido Alberts confirmed interest in his client and hinted that the player is open for a move.
He told Voetbal International: “It is true that this interest has been there for a while.
“Last summer it was already concrete, but Donny opted for a longer stay at Ajax.
“The past few months have gone differently than we had in mind.
“If his situation remains the same way for much longer, a transfer is a better option for all parties.
“These agreements have now also been made with [director of football] Marc Overmars.
“If the situation remains the same, a transfer can be discussed.”
Liverpool, Chelsea and Roma are also interested in signing the 21 year old.
