Man Utd: Donny van de Beek transfer weighed up by pundit
Manchester United are expected to wrap up the signing of Ajax star Donny van de Beek this week after the 23-year-old agreed terms on a five-year contract to become Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's first new arrival this summer.
Van de Beek linked up with his Holland international team-mates yesterday and immediately underwent a medical.
The midfielder passed the extensive testing and is expected to be announced as a United player over the coming days.
Before Van de Beek can link up with his new team at Carrington he will be in Nations League action against Poland and Italy.
The UK Government has spoken to Sky Sports and revealed the ace does not have to quarantine when entering the country.
“Donny van de Beek will not need a quarantine provided he registers as a Manchester United player before either of his games for the Netherlands," the statement read.

“That means he is allowed to apply for an exemption on sporting grounds and exemption is granted to players who are competing in games abroad such as Liverpool’s pre-season in Austria.
“It affects all players in the Premier League and the EFL who are away on international duty.”
If Van de Beek was to travel home before flying to England he would have to sit out of training for two weeks.
United have postponed their opening-day fixture against Burnley so will not kick off their season until September 19, when they host Crystal Palace.
