Manchester United outcast Donny Van de Beek, who has been struggling for game time not only under new interim boss Ralf Ragnick but also under previous coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, is reportedly being touted for the exit door at Old Trafford.
According to reports from Manchester Evening News (via Calciomercato.it), the Red Devils are preparing to offload Van de Beek on a loan deal. Inter, Juventus and Milan are the teams interested in the profile of the former Ajax man, whose career has not really kicked off in Manchester.
However, it is also reported that Newcastle United and Borussia Dortmund are frontrunners for his signature, amid interest from other European top dogs.
Although the Dutchman is contracted until June 2025 with the Manchester natives, he has the option to extend his deal for a further year, although that seems improbable given the current circumstances. However, interim coach Ralf Ragnick wants the former Ajax midfielder to stay put.
Ralf Rangnick confirms: “I want Donny van de Beek to stay. I had a conversation with him two weeks ago and told him I would advise him to stay until the end of the season — with the World Cup coming up in the winter, he wants to play”. ? #MUFC @utdreport pic.twitter.com/iEWqLAqrZI

Van de Beek possesses a transfermarkt value of €25m and any offer by interested teams in that range is bound to attract the attention of the Red Devils.
It remains to be seen how the three Italian giants respond to the current situation and whether they would readily accept Van de Beek’s services.
