Man Utd want £25m to offload Dutch international

Manchester United are looking for around £25 million to part ways with midfielder Donny van de Beek this summer.

The Netherlands international has been a fringe player for the club since his arrival from Ajax nearly three years ago.

He is unlikely to secure a starting role anytime soon, and reports claim that they are prepared to offload him this summer.

Real Sociedad have already made formal contact for his services, and Daily Mail claim that he would cost them around £25 million.

It is unclear whether the La Liga outfit will spend that much on the Dutchman, who has just returned from a knee surgery.

Van de Beek has been injury free since his comeback in pre-season. He has already scored a goal and provided two assists.

Despite the positives, Sociedad are still wary over his injury record, and could prefer to land him on an initial loan deal.

United could ask for an obligatory buy clause to be included.
