Shock Premier League Club Submit Offer For Donny Van De Beek As Manchester United Put Forward Demands

Van de Beek, 24, has struggled to establish himself as a first-team regular at United since his £35m signing from Ajax in 2020.

The Dutchman, who is under contract until 2025, has only scored once in 14 appearances for United across all competitions this season.

It is believed that Van de Beek is open to a move away from Old Trafford in a bid to revitalise his career and secure a place in Louis van Gaal’s Netherlands squad for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the Eagles made a ‘straight loan proposal’ to United on Tuesday for Van de Beek.

However, United reportedly want Crystal Palace to cover the Netherlands international’s £100,000-a-week wages until the end of the season.

The Red Devils will also refuse to include an outright option to buy Van de Beek at the end of his loan spell.

“Update on Donny van de Beek. Crystal Palace have submitted [a] straight loan proposal tonight -- it's now a direct negotiation with Man United,” Romano tweeted.

“There are also other clubs interested. Manchester United want full salary paid until June to let him leave -- no buy option.”

United interim manager Ralf Rangnick admitted that he could “understand” Van de Beek’s desire to play, but he insisted there is a “lot of competition in our squad.”

“He's always performing on a high level in training. For him, I have a conversation two weeks ago after training exactly about that.

“I told him I would advise him to stay until the end of the season, and then, of course, with the World Cup coming up in winter, he wants to play in the World Cup for his country and Louis van Gaal obviously told him that in order to be a regular starter for the World Cup, he needs to regularly play for his team.

“I can understand his desire to play, on the other hand, we have a lot of competition in our squad in exactly those positions.”
