Everton star Donny van de Beek has already made up his mind on Man Utd future

Donny van de Beek has already decided he’ll push for a permament move to Everton if he helps keep the Toffees up this season.

The Dutchman completed a loan move to Everton in the January transfer window after struggling for game time under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and then Ralf Rangnick at Manchester United.

According to the Daily Star, Van de Beek has no intention of returning to Old Trafford following the end of his loan spell in the summer providing Everton avoid the drop – they sit 16th in the table.

Providing he gets regular game time under Frank Lampard and the two clubs can agree a fee, the 24-year-old will push for a permanent switch come the end of the season and call-time on his unsuccessful spell at United since joining from Ajax in 2020 for £35m.

Lampard has already handed him his first Premier League start of the campaign in the 3-0 win over Leeds last week and is impressed by how he’s bounced back from being left out in the cold at Old Trafford.

‘I’ve been really impressed with him’, Lampard said.

‘On a professional level, since speaking to him, him coming and seeing him train, I am absolutely impressed with his fitness and his game sharpness. When you’re watching training it doesn’t surprise you.

‘When I think back to the time he has had at Manchester United, he’s a top-level player. He was when Manchester United signed him and he was at Ajax.

‘It’s not easy. There are different ways of reacting and I’m sure it was tough. He has shown that if you keep your head down and keep working you can come through it.

‘People will always respect you for it. Now hopefully he has a chance to show his quality on a regular basis and I hope so too.’

Van de Beek has also spoken of his need for a fresh challenge and is keen to
