It looks like Ajax midfielder Donny van de Beek will be involved in a transfer tussle this summer with reports that Man Utd are set for a battle with Real Madrid for the player’s signature.
The Daily Express claims Manchester United are “keen” on landing the midfielder as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer looks to rebuild his side after a difficult start to the 2019/20 campaign.
However, after two 2-1 wins over Tottenham and Man City last week, it looks like the Norwegian’s job is safe again and there will be plans to sign new players in the coming months — maybe even as early as January.
