DONNY VAN DE BEEK has left Manchester United on loan.
And he could have played his final game for the Red Devils.
Donny van de Beek has joined Eintracht Frankfurt on loan for the rest of the season
The Dutchman will wear the No25 for the Bundesliga side
The midfielder completed his switch just hours after the transfer window opened
Strong form could see a permanent deal done in the summer
Van de Beek, 26, completed his loan to Eintracht Frankhurt within the first 12 hours of the January transfer window.
And the Bundesliga side have an option to make the deal permanent at the end of the season.
It is understood that fee would be around £9.5million – with add-ons potentially seeing it rise to £12m.
And that would be around a £30m loss for United on the midfielder who joined from Ajax for £40m in 2020.
Van de Beek chose to wear the No25 shirt at the Deutsche Bank Park.
And as he lines up alongside World Cup hero Mario Gotze, he will be hoping he can help his new side qualify for the Champions League.
Eintracht Frankfurt currently sit sixth in the Bundesliga table, nine points off fourth-placed RB Leipzig.
Van de Beek featured just twice for United in the first half of this campaign.
He got 19 minutes in the Carabao Cup win over Crystal Palace in September and then two minutes in the Premier League against the same opponents four days later.
Despite working with Ten Hag at Ajax as they reached the Champions League semi-finals in 2019, the manager left him out of all six matchday squads for the 2023 group stages as United finished bottom and crashed out.
Over the course of four seasons at Old Trafford, Van van Beek has made 62 Red Devils appearances and scored two goals.
Furthermore, he hasn’t added to his 19 Netherlands international caps since 2021 due to a lack of playing time or form.
But if he plays well on loan at Eintracht, he might be able to make his way back into Ronald Koeman’s team in time for Euro 2024, when the Netherlands compete in Group D against France, Austria, and the victor of the play-offs.
Additionally, the German team might be eager to complete Van de Beek’s signing by exercising his summer purchase option.
Next season, he will enter the final year of his Red Devils deal, therefore United will undoubtedly try to get rid of him.
