That’s according to 90min, who claims the Dutch midfielder has emerged as a transfer target for Mikel Arteta.
van de Beek, 24, only joined United last summer – however, after struggling to cement his place down in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s first-team plans, the Dutchman has continually found himself on his side’s bench.
Having started just four Premier League matches all season last time out, speculation surrounding the 24-year-old’s long-term future was always going to be rife.
Well, according to 90min, the midfielder’s lack of playing now sees him wanted by Arsenal with the Gunners understood to have already made contact with United.
