Donny van de Beek has struggled since he left Ajax for Manchester United in 2020.
The Netherlands international was not relied upon by Ole Gunnar Solskjær and was then loaned out to Everton for majority of Ralf Ragnick’s tenure with the Red Devils.
Erik ten Hag’s arrival at Manchester United led to suggestions the midfielder could revive his Old Trafford career, but it hasn’t happened so far, partly due to concerns over his fitness.
The 25-year-old made only his second start of the season in Manchester United’s latest league win over AFC Bournemouth on Tuesday, but an injury forced the former Ajax star to be taken off the pitch and Ten Hag admitted the setback doesn’t look good for his compatriot.
If the Dutchman is expected to spend a long spell on the sidelines, Algemeen Dagblad state that there are concerns his spell at Old Trafford could be ‘over’.
This would mean the recent clash against the Cherries could potentially be Van de Beek’s ‘last achievement’ for Manchester United, even though he has a contract until 2025.
They add that if the injury is as serious as first though, then ‘a farewell seems almost inevitable’ for the player, who left the game in tears, perhaps knowing exactly what this all meant for him.
