Ajax midfielder Donny van de Beek was not included in his side’s pre-season friendly earlier today against Eintracht Frankfurt sparking more speculation he could be on his way to Manchester United.
van de Beek, 23, could very well be the next big name to depart Ajax as his future continues to be speculated, according to Sport, the talented midfielder is open to a move to Barcelona but is keen to learn the future of star-man Lionel Messi before making a decision.
However, leading journalist Fabrizo Romano has waved that suggestion away after retweeting a post stating that van de Beek is not an option for Barcelona, which would suggest that United have a clear run at the midfielder should they wish to secure his services.
