Manchester United midfielder Donny van de Beek has not left the club just yet.
Donny van de Beek is on the verge of leaving Manchester United to try and continue his career in the Bundesliga.
A loan deal is agreed in principle with Eintracht Frankfurt, and The Mail reported on Monday that he was set to undergo a medical with the German club later that day.
However, Van de Beek is still at Carrington, pictured in training sessions held a day after the Liverpool game.
Van de Beek exit imminent
It’s quite possible Donny van de Beek could have undergone medical tests remotely. Or he could be jetting out later this week instead.
The midfielder will be kept around until the transfer window opens on January 1, when his loan move will officially go through.
United have him around as cover until then, however, it is not thought likely he will be used.
Van de Beek has played only 21 minutes of football this season, last featuring in September.
Christian Eriksen returns
While Van de Beek is still hanging about, Christian Eriksen‘s presence at Carrington was more encouraging.
Eriksen suffered an injury in Manchester United’s win over Luton Town in November and has not featured since.
He has a chance to make the matchday squad for the upcoming matches against West Ham, Aston Villa, and Nottingham Forest to end the year.
And that could mean Van de Beek won’t make the bench, potentially fast-tracking his move to Germany.
