Following initial reports about Eintracht Frankfurt’s interest in Manchester United midfielder Doony van de Beek, claims from Germany now explain why this signing is necessary.
Kicker feature a story confirming that the Bundesliga side are working on a deal, as their intention is to get the Dutchman on a loan deal instead of a permanent move.
The outlet claims that in case Frankfurt reach a deal for Van de Beek, they want the transfer to be completed ‘as quickly as possible’.
The Bundesliga side will be missing some players due to the Africa Cup of Nations, and their idea is to have the Manchester United football available in the ‘first training session’ after the window opens.
The story, however, wonders whether the midfielder would be able to perform straight away, as he’s been sitting on the Red Devils’ bench for a long time now.
Van de Beek has only played limited minutes played this season, in just two appearances. He hasn’t entered the pitch since September, so Eintracht Frankfurt should really be careful about their expectations over him.
