Man Utd confirm transfer exit of midfielder after 62 appearances

Manchester United have confirmed the exit of Donny van de Beek.

Van de Beek has signed for Eintracht Frankfurt on loan from Manchester United for the rest of the season. The 26-year-old has made 62 appearances and scored two goals for United since joining from Ajax in 2020.

A Manchester United club statement read: "Donny van de Beek has signed for Eintracht Frankfurt on loan from Manchester United.The 26-year-old Dutch midfielder will join the Bundesliga side for the remainder of the 2023/24 season. The deal comes on the first day of the 2024 winter transfer window, which remains open until February 1."

Eintracht Frankfurt are currently sixth in the Bundesliga. They face a UEFA Europa Conference League play-off with Union Saint-Gilloise of Belgium in February.

Meanwhile, Southampton are said to be pushing hard to sign Manchester United winger Amad on loan in January, with Sunderland also keen.

The 21-year-old impressed on loan at Sunderland last season, scoring 14 Championship goals, while the Black Cats were one of several clubs keeping an eye on the player's situation over the summer. That was before Amad sustained a lengthy knee injury in pre-season, which caused him to miss the start of this campaign.
