The Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf reports that Donny van de Beek has agreed to a five-year contract with Manchester United.
The report describes the move as Van de Beek’s “dream transfer.”
The player and his agent reportedly have a verbal agreement with United, with only paperwork and one remaining doctor.
United first asked about Van de Beek in June and has now picked up interest after taking stock of the post-pandemic financial outlook.
The Dutch newspaper AD also reports that Manchester United will be Van de Beek’s new club.
The Dutch international midfielder will become United’s first signing in the transfer window.
