Man Utd: Donny van de Beek interested in transfer says expert
Manchester United have been linked with Ajax duo Donny van de Beek and Hakim Ziyech. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admires the pair and could bring them to Old Trafford before the transfer window shuts at the end of the month.
Solskjaer is short on options in the middle of the park, with injuries to Paul Pogba and Scott McTominay meaning he has just Nemanja Matic, Andreas Pereira, James Garner and Fred to call upon.
Van de Beek would solve that problem, with the Ajax star capable of dictating play and scoring goals from the middle of the park.
Ziyech can play there too but the Ajax star has flourished on the right wing instead in recent years.
Express Sport now takes a look at how they could fit into Solskjaer’s struggling side.

United were linked with Donny van de Beek during the summer transfer window, at a time where Paul Pogba was being linked with Real Madrid.
However, they failed to move for the Netherlands international at the time.
Now, it appears that United have changed their mind.
Should they sign Van de Beek and keep Pogba, the Ajax star would likely play alongside the France international and Scott McTominay in the middle of the park.
