Donny van de Beek has been included in the Premier League selection of Manchester United, according to the 25-man list that the Red Devils shared via official channels on Wednesday afternoon. While the 26-year-old midfielder is missing from Erik ten Hag’s selection for the Champions League, Van de Beek can hope for minutes at the highest level in England. The controversial Antony and Jadon Sancho are also ‘normal’ on the list.
The coming days will reveal whether Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe will become concrete for Van de Beek, who is at the top of the Turkish wish lists. In any case, the registration for the Premier League suits the midfielder well, as he would otherwise be excluded for no fewer than two competitions. However, it looks like Van de Beek will not have to count on much playing time in Manchester, as he was not even selected by Ten Hag in the first four matches of the season. The competition has only become fiercer with the arrival of Sofyan Amrabat. The transfer market in the Süper Lig closes on Friday.

In addition to Van de Beek, Ten Hag also seems to give Sancho a new chance. The English winger sat down with his coach last Monday, The Telegraph reported. Sancho publicly questioned statements by Ten Hag about his absence from United’s matchday squad, causing English media to predict the end of his employment with the club. Sancho, among other things, did not agree with Ten Hag talking about his lack of effort in training, but the duo seems to have embraced each other again.
Finally, Antony is also on United’s selection list. The 23-year-old winger is currently in his native Brazil to prove his innocence in a case against him. The ex-Ajax player is accused of domestic violence, which he allegedly committed against his ex-girlfriend Gabriela Cavallin. Two other women also accuse Antony, who was kicked out of the Brazilian selection. In consultation with United, the left-footed player will remain away from the club for a while. The Red Devils are handling the case carefully, as the club received a lot of criticism surrounding the handling of Mason Greenwood’s case.
