Transfer News: Arsenal want out of favour Manchester United star Donny van de Beek

In a rather surprising bit of transfer news from Mirror, Arsenal are interested in signing Donny van de Beek from Manchester United. The Dutchman is reportedly looking to leave the club after a bad first season. Our rivals Arsenal have offered him an escape.

The 24-year-old was United’s marquee signing last summer and arrived at Old Trafford after a successful spell at Ajax Amsterdam. He got off to an excellent start by scoring on his debut but has struggled since.

Whether it is the system or it is the manager, Van de Beek has only had fleeting moments of brilliance in a United shirt. However, it has now been reported that Arsenal are looking to offer the 24-year-old a way out of Manchester United. It is also believed that they have contacted his representatives.
