Manchester United have reached an agreement in principle with Eintracht Frankfurt over a loan deal for midfielder Donny van de Beek, sources revealed to ESPN. The Dutch midfielder is set to join Frankfurt in January until the end of the season.
While van de Beek has struggled to get game time over the past few seasons, with the current campaign proving no different, he may be required by United for their clash with Liverpool on Sunday night. Captain Bruno Fernandes will not be available due to a suspension while midfielders Casemiro, Christian Eriksen, and Mason Mount remain unavailable through injury.
Van de Beek was made available for transfer or loan during the summer as it became clear that he did not form a part of the plans of Man United manager Erik ten Hag. The midfielder has only made two appearances this season. Frankfurt are expected to pay a loan fee for the player, with an option for a permanent move included in the loan agreement.
