Honestly when I read his name I think his first name is actually Doniel.
Donny Van De Beek
- Thread starter davidmichael
- Start date
Simon Stone's mentioned him in his article about Maguire's injury.

The big thing is these quotes were made before Ajax were knocked out of the Champions league.
Is this another of Ed's leaks to the media?!
Booooooooo! Misery guts.
Who’s his agent?
Hopefully not Raiola.

Conspiracy theory? It's like you haven't been supporting Manchester United for the last few years? Whenever we get beaten quite badly, the rush to get a brief out on the same night or next morning has happened for countless seasons now in order to get the fans attention and stop any possible discontent at the result. The obvious sign being all the media outlets report the same damn story at near enough the same damn time, and it's happened again, you're saying this isn't a brief? Come on, the same thing happens everytime
No. That was the first thing i looked at
Obviously Ajax are gonna say they want to keep him until the summer. They're gonna squeeze us for everything and rightly so.
They'd be more than happy to part ways with him now though. They still have enough quality to win the league. UCL has gone. Opens an opportunity for Gravenberch. And they'd likely be getting £60m+ now instead of £40m in the summer.

Yes but who says that's Ed. Sounds like the media preying on vulnerable fans who are desperate for some good news. Ask yourself, how many of these briefs ended up true? It's a win win for them, they get their clicks.
Don't do this to yourselves guys. We'll forever be linked to talented players, but more often than not another club will come out of the blue and swoop in whilst we're still 'considering' or 'preparing' bids. I've learnt my lesson after Haalandisappointment.
But I saw a vid on youtube saying "welcome to Manchester United, Donny van de Beek"
It's January. Links pop up all the time at this time of year. Actually, they pop up the rest of the year too but you take my point. The Press Gossip thread is all the proof you need of that.
And Van de Beek isn't a big name. Outside of a few thousand people on the internet, nobody gives a shit. This isn't season ticket renewal time. The story benefits nobody. It's just one of many bullet points in somebody's gossip section.
Weren't Real interested in him?
I'd be relieved if we went for him over some other targets, and impressed if he chose to join.

It really feels like it.
Why would every reliable journo be reporting this saying we're 'considering' a bid. It's obvious as day this is more PR bullshit from Woodward. Why else would this be leaked?
Yeah it's the "considering a bid" bit that makes it look like a leak or one person made it up and the rest all ran with it.
Too good to be true. Next thing we will hear is negative whispers from the club when he signs for someone else.
If we sign him now, it just shows how incompetent the club is. Why did we not sign him during the summer?
Probably because we aren't actually after him.
They sold 2 of their best players in the summer, I doubt they wanted to lose anymore.
Most likely the case since he is actually able to receive and pass the ball...
They stated that Beek and Zyiech could leave.
Fecking Sean Longstaff
Aye, in all likelihood, Woodward and Ole have no desire to strengthen the squad?
Bunch of emotional teenagers on this forum.
Two signings that completely change this united team, but we won’t get them.
Maybe someone thinks his dad is too fat.
Leaks would be so dumb now, the situation is already at a boiling point.
The clubs two biggest tools are sponsors and fake briefs after a bad result or bad rub of results.
So I'm sure this is very real.
So I'm sure this is very real.
Yep. We should be signing them both this January and Ajax probably wouldn't mind either, but it won't happen.
We don't need reminding of all this in every single thread on the forum do we? That's what gets on people's nerves. I go and watch United (when I'm not working) so I'm actually paying money to sit through it - I'm well aware how things are and I'm desperate for it to change.
I'll have it that the world's best talent might not fancy United at the moment but you're being far too dramatic if you think we can't temp any good players in world football. Just feels like constant negativity on here and it's fecking boring.
We Are Desperate. Every day another player. Another day pure pie in the sky. Shambles of a club
He adds much needed depth to an already shallow midfield, and most importantly has time to settle in before the inevitable departure of Pogba in the summer.
With the (almost certain) exit of Pogba and Matic in the summer and Perreira, Lingard and Mata not being the quality for consistant top 4, thats up to 5 spots to fill. This sort of rebuild cant happen in one window, getting 1 out of the way this month is a massive success and a no brainer.
Therefore expect a press conference stating the right players weren't available.

Van De Beek is a versatile midfielder and could definitely improve us and he's only 22. Ziyech whose 26 years of age would improve our RW and could also play as No. 10.
Soumare, Sancho, Cavani & Demirel/ Upacameno in the summer would pretty much complete our rebuild.
Also regardless of whether Ole remains beyond the summer, I think Van De Beek and Ziyech would be great additions and could be utilized by any manager that comes

Love the energy! Come on get this one over the line Ed. This is probably the best option we might have.

You know it's feck all when its "considering a bid"
If the intention was to hoodwink the fans and make them happy after a loss, then reading this forum today it doesnt seem to have worked very well.
Maybe - and it doesnt seem like a major stretch given that we are in a transfer window right now and we are out looking for players - just maybe its come out because we are trying to sign him.
How did you know?
Amen. Well said
‘His agent wanted a buy out clause for Real Madrid which meant the deal was not possible’.
