Man United are scrambling to offload Donny van de Beek but a transfer should have been sorted for him months ago
Throughout Donny van de Beek's three-year stint at Manchester United, he has not once looked likely to hold down a starting place on a regular basis.
Arguably the competition in United's midfield is stronger than ever. Besides Casemiro, Bruno Fernandes and Christian Eriksen who started at Arsenal, the Reds can rely on Sofyan Amrabat, Mason Mount, Kobbie Mainoo and Scott McTominay to fill any gaps over the course of the season, while the likes of Hannibal Mejbri and Dan Gore will harbour hopes of breaking into the first-team this season.
The ideal solution would have been to sell Van de Beek permanently as his career at Old Trafford is dead in the water but perhaps a loan switch would have sufficed. Either way, as soon as the window shut last Friday, United severely hindered their chances of parting ways with their man.
