MANCHESTER United flop Donny van de Beek has “accepted it’s time to leave” the club after his disastrous £35million transfer.
The Dutch midfielder is expected to be one of several departures from Old Trafford as part of Erik ten Hag’s summer rebuild.

Ten Hag has reportedly made eight players available for transfer to fund any new arrivals.
The Guardian report that Van de Beek will likely be amongst those departures, with the 26-year-old exploring his options.
His imminent exit will mark an end to a difficult three-year spell with the Red Devils.
An underwhelming loan spell with Everton was followed by an injury-ravaged season last term.
The final nail in the coffin is understood to be United’s plans to strengthen their midfield, as they continue talks for Mason Mount.
Van de Beek has scored just twice in 60 appearances for United since arriving from Ajax for £35million in 2020.
His poor form and injuries have seen him fail to play a full 90 minutes for the club since December 2021.
The midfielder missed 48 matches through injury in the 2022/23 season, with most of those caused by a season-ending knee injury he suffered in January.

As far as potential suitors for Van de Beek are concerned, former club Ajax were linked with a move back in April.
The Dutch giants are keen on a deal, with United placing a £25million price tag on Van de Beek as he enters the final two years of his contract.
