Man Utd player ‘revelling’ at rival and will ‘push’ for permanent exit

According to reports, Man Utd midfielder Donny van de Beek will ‘push to join’ Everton permanently this summer if they stay up.

The Dutchman made the move to the Premier League in 2020 from Ajax. Man Utd paid around £35m to sign him.

This move has not gone to plan as the midfielder has barely featured for the Red Devils since the start of the 2020/21 season.

Van de Beek was given permission to leave the club in January. Before the transfer window closed, he joined Frank Lampard’s Everton on loan.

The 24-year-old has enjoyed an impressive start with the Toffees. Lampard has won two of his first three games in charge. They are now five points clear of the bottom three.

The Daily Star are reporting that Van de Beek ‘will look to secure a permanent move to Everton this summer if he helps keep them up’.

It is stated that the player has ‘no intention’ of returning to Man Utd simply to sit on the bench. He is ‘revelling in the chance to showcase his skills’ at Everton.

Elsewhere, Jamie Carragher believes Man Utd made a mistake signing Cristiano Ronaldo last summer and insists keeping him next season would be a “bigger” mistake.

Ronaldo made a sensational return to Old Trafford last August after initially leaving the Premier League club in 2009.

He joined on a two-year contract, with the option to extend for a further year, for a reported £13.5m fee.

Carragher said: “Cristiano Ronaldo’s invaluable contribution to Manchester United’s Premier League win over Brighton was another reminder of his unparalleled appetite for goals.
