MANCHESTER UNITED midfielder Donny van de Beek has reportedly been offered to Roma.
The Dutch international is expected to be one of several departures from Old Trafford as part of Erik ten Hag’s summer rebuild.

Big things were expected when United laid out £35million for Van De Beek back in the summer of 2020.
The midfielder played a pivotal role in Ajax’s run to the 2019-2020 Champions League semi-final, scoring the only goal in Ajax’s first leg 1-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur.
But the Dutchman, 26, has never got going at Old Trafford, scoring just twice in 60 appearances for the club.
And now Ten Hag appears to want him out this summer, despite the two years remaining on his contract.
According to Sky Sport Italia, Jose Mourinho’s Roma have been offered the chance to sign Van de Beek.
However, the midfielder isn’t a priority at the moment for the Italian side.
The possibility of a loan move could be explored if the Dutchman doesn’t find another club.
Van de Beek is coming off a serious injury, which means he will have to prove his fitness to any club taking him on loan.

The Dutchman spent time out on loan at Everton in the 2021-22 season, where he also failed to make much impact.
Even a reunion with his former Ajax coach Ten Hag didn’t bring a change of fortunes.
He was afforded little game time before a serious knee injury ruled him out of the second half of last year’s campaign.
After a promising first year as United manager, Ten Hag is determined to accelerate the process of reshaping his squad this summer.
Van de Beek may not be the only midfielder on the way out this summer.
With Fred being put up for sale amid interest from Fulham, and Scott McTominay potentially being offered to West Ham as part-exchange for Declan Rice.
United also continue their pursuit of Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount, with their second bid rejected earlier this week.
Ruthless Ten Hag is also set to allow goalkeeper David de Gea to leave this summer.
