Dutch midfielder Donny Van de Beek, current Manchester United player, has made it clear that playing regularly, rather than money, is what motivates him in his professional career. These statements have piqued the interest of several clubs and with his contract expiring in 2025, the January market could be the opportunity for Van de Beek to strive for new horizons.
Van de Beek, 26, arrived at Manchester United in 2020 with high expectations, but his time at Old Trafford was not as successful as he and the fans had hoped. Despite his quality, he struggled to secure a permanent place in the starting lineup, leading to him joining Everton on loan from February to May 2022, where he also failed to make a significant impact.
The player has expressed his desire to play regularly, be it for Manchester United or another club. This has sparked interest from several teams to strengthen their midfield. Although United have so far refused to let him leave permanently, the situation could change in January when his contract is about to expire.
He needs to feel like a player again
Van de Beek’s decision to prioritize playing time over money is being praised by many as it shows his passion for football and his desire to develop as a player. This makes him an attractive target for other clubs who can offer him the opportunity to play a leading role on the field.
