Donny van de Beek has sent a message on social media after clinching his transfer to Manchester United.
Van de Beek’s transfer to United was confirmed by the club’s official website.
He leaves Ajax and had kind words for his former club as he said an emotional farewell.
This was Van de Beek’s first tweet in more than two years, with his previous message from January 2018 when he signed a contract at the club until 2022.
Van de Beek’s followers on Twitter shot up after he signed for United.
From having just under 50,000 followers, Van de Beek has more than 100,000, such is the power of the Manchester United global support.
Van de Beek is United’s first signing of the transfer window and he will wear the club’s number 34 shirt, a tribute to his friend and former teammate Abdelhak Nouri, who suffered a career-ending heart attack three years ago.
Van de Beek has also updated his Instagram profile to now reflect that he is a Manchester United player.
He will arrive in Manchester next week after the international break.
