Dutch midfielder Donny van de Beek has confirmed his departure from Manchester United after a troubled four-year spell at the club. The 27-year-old took to Instagram to bid an emotional farewell to the Manchester United family, thanking the fans, the club, and everyone who made him feel at home.
Van de Beek’s time at Old Trafford was marked by struggles to make an impact, resulting in two loan stints at Eintracht Frankfurt and Everton. Despite his promising reputation at Ajax, he failed to score more than two goals in 62 appearances for United. Reports indicate that he is set to join Spanish side Girona, who will pay around £4 million to sign him.
In his farewell message, Van de Beek expressed gratitude for the support and warm welcome he received at Manchester United. He also mentioned the birth of his two children in Manchester, ensuring the city will always hold a special place in his heart. With a heartfelt “good luck to everybody,” Van de Beek closed the chapter on his Manchester United adventure.
