Donny van de Beek’s personal agony since joining Manchester United could end in January as a loan deal with Juventus comes to an end.
Van de Beek joined United from Ajax in September 2020 but struggled to gain playing time under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, seeing himself behind Paul Pogba, Bruno Fernandes, Scott McTominay, Fred and Nemanja Matic in the pecking order from the midfield.
The Netherlands international came close to joining Everton on loan at the start of this season, but United mysteriously ended the deal at the last minute.
Solskjaer would then have assured Van de Beek more playing time this quarter, but that has yet to materialize.
Now, according to Italian journalist NicoloDonny Van De Beekear, the former could be heading to Serie A in the January transfer window.
“Donny Van De Beek could leave Manchester United in January,” said Schira.
“Juventus have shown interest in the midfielder: Juve sporting director Cherubini has spoken to his agent G. Albers in recent days.
“The Bianconeri are interested in a loan with an option to buy.
‘Newcastle want it too.’

Many fans and pundits have been almost as frustrated as the player himself with the lack of opportunities offered to him under Solskjaer at United and see him as an improvement over McTominay, Fred and Matic.
While his ideal position as No. 8/10 doesn’t naturally lie in Solskjaer’s favorite 4-2-3-1 lineup, it doesn’t seem clear why United bought him in the first place if the game didn’t. is not good.
Some have speculated that he was bought to replace Paul Pogba, but the Frenchman ultimately went nowhere, leaving Van de Beek fired.
Either way, it would seem fair that a loan deal will be granted in January if the playing situation has not changed, be it at Juve, Newcastle or Everton, who have also confirmed that ‘they still had an interest.
