  • Inter Milan have reportedly set their sights on signing Donny van de Beek from Man United during the January transfer window
  • Van de Beek has failed to impress at Old Trafford since his arrival two years ago, with the Dutchman managing just 53 appearances during the period
  • It was projected that Erik ten Hag could resuscitate his United career but that has not been the case, with the midfielder playing just thrice so far

Italian giants Inter Milan could reportedly make a January transfer move for struggling Man United midfielder Donny van de Beek.

Van de Beek has failed to hit the ground running at Old Trafford since he joined United from Ajax in the summer of 2020 on a five-year deal.

Since his arrival, the Dutchman has worked under three managers, including Ole Gunnar Solksjer, Ralf Rangnick, and now Erik ten Hag - with none of them affording him sufficient game time.

The Netherlands international spent the second half of last season on loan at Everton, where he also failed to leave a mark.

Meanwhile, the arrival of Casemiro at the Theatre of Dreams has further complicated Van de Beek's place in the United team.

Inter Milan linked with move for Donny van de Beek

Inter Milan are now said to be prepared to offer the former Ajax ace an escape route from his Old Trafford nightmare.

According to Sportskeeda, citing fichajes.net, Inter could place a bid to sign Van de Beek during the winter transfer window.

The Italian giants are understood to be keen to add some depth to their midfield and have had Lazio star Sergej Milinkovic-Savic as a longstanding target.

However, acquiring Milinkovic-Savic could cost Inter a substantial amount of money, forcing them to find alternatives.

It is, for this reason, Nerazzurri boss Simone Inzaghi has shifted his focus to Van de Beek, who could cost them a lot less.

Earlier, Sports Brief reported Donny van de Beek is over the moon after he and his partner, Estelle Bergkamp, welcomed their first child.

The couple announced the arrival of the child on Saturday, April 9, with the midfielder revealing they named the baby Lomée van de Beek.

Van de Beek's father-in-law and Arsenal legend, Dennis Bergkamp, is among hundreds of fans who took the time to congratulate the Dutchman after the exciting news.
