Donkey Van De Beek has gone on loan from Manchester United.
He could have played his last game for the Red Devils as well.
After going on loan to Eintracht Frankfurt for 12 hours, Van de Beek, who is 26 years old, ended his loan.
The Bundesliga team can make the deal official at the end of the season if they want to.
The fee is thought to be around £9.5 million, but it could go up to £12 million if there are extras.
And United would lose about £30 million on the player they bought from Ajax in 2020 for £40 million.
At the Deutsche Bank Park, Van de Beek chose to wear the No. 25 shirt.
He will be playing with Mario Gotze, who won the World Cup, and he hopes that he can help his new team get into the Champions League.
At the moment, Eintracht Frankfurt is sixth in the Bundesliga, nine points behind RB Leipzig in fourth place.
In the first half of the season, Van de Beek only played twice for United.
In September, he played 19 minutes in a win over Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup. Four days later, he played just two minutes in the Premier League against the same team.
In 2019, Ten Hag helped Ajax make it to the semifinals of the Champions League. However, the manager didn’t include him in any of United’s six matchday squads for the 2023 group stages, where they came last and were eliminated.
Van de Beek has played 62 times for the Red Devils over four seasons at Old Trafford and has scored two goals.
Because he doesn’t get enough game time or isn’t in good shape, he hasn’t added to his 19 caps for the Netherlands since 2021.
He could get back into Ronald Koeman’s team before Euro 2024, though, if he does well on loan at Eintracht. The Dutch will play France, Austria, and the winner of the play-offs in Group D.
The German club might also want to get Van de Beek by exercising their right to buy him in the summer.
Next season will be the last year of his deal with the Red Devils, so they will be looking to get rid of him.
Fans of Manchester United have been told not to expect too much more in January. Jadon Sancho may be leaving, but there won’t be any big-money signings.
