Everton, Crystal Palace vying for Man Utd star

Manchester United midfielder Donny van de Beek is attracting interest from Everton and Crystal Palace ahead of the transfer deadline.

The Dutchman has played less than 400 minutes this campaign, and he is desperate to leave on loan before the transfer window closes.

Palace were favourites to sign him earlier this week, but Fabrizio Romano claims that the Toffees have entered the pursuit of his services.

The Merseyside outfit have decided to appoint Frank Lampard as their manager. He has urged the club to move for Van de Beek.

United have yet to give the green light for his potential exit, but they are expected to do so as he does not appear in Ralf Rangnick's plans.

He has played just seven minutes of Premier League football under the German tactician, and has been a regular unused substitute.

His chances of playing time may not improve in the near future with Bruno Fernandes being an undisputed choice in the number 10 role.
