Man United and Sir Jim Ratcliffe are facing a transfer dilemma. Donny van de Beek, who has only started four league matches for Eintracht Frankfurt, is set to return to the club after spending most of his time on the bench. It is reported that Van de Beek will be seeking a new club as United boss Erik ten Hag has apparently shown him the cold shoulder. This situation presents a challenge for Ratcliffe as he prepares for his first transfer window in charge of the club.
Van de Beek’s loan spell at Eintracht Frankfurt has not been successful, and with one year left on his contract at Old Trafford, it will be difficult for United to command a substantial fee for him. The option of sending him out on loan again is also complicated by his high weekly wage. As a result, United may need to find a permanent solution for Van de Beek. In addition to the Van de Beek situation, there are also reports that Anthony Martial is set to leave Old Trafford at the end of the season.
Given that Martial is out of contract, he will depart the club on a free transfer. This suggests that there could be a busy summer of departures at United.
