Manchester United's first bit of business for the January transfer window has been confirmed already, with the Red Devils keen to strengthen this winter.
Sunday saw Liverpool hold a depleted Manchester United team to a drab 0-0 draw, with manager Erik ten Hag unable to affect the game as he would have perhaps wished due to the ever-growing list of injuries and suspensions at Old Trafford.
United have suffered more than most with absence this term but January presents an opportunity to rejuvenate the squad – with one star's future already confirmed now.
Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano has tweeted exclusive confirmed news that Donny van de Beek will depart on loan next month in order to find first-team football.
"Van de Beek will complete medical tests as new Eintracht [Frankfurt] player in the next 24 hours," Romano said. "Loan deal will be signed this week.
"The buy option clause will be there as revealed on Friday; it's not mandatory, worth €11 million fixed plus €4m add-ons."
The Dutchman joined Manchester United in 2020 but has managed just 62 appearances in four years, unable to oust Bruno Fernandes from the side on a regular basis.
Van de Beek is valued at €10m by Transfermarkt.
