Ten Hag blocks this player from joining Premier League rival

According to a recent report, Guido Albers, the agent to Manchester United’s Donny van de Beek, has claimed the club have refused to sell the player to another Premier League club this summer.

Recall that the Red Devils manager, Erik ten Hag brought the 27-year-old midfielder from Dutch side Ajax in a £40 million deal in 2020.

He has, however, struggled to make an impact at Old Trafford and is now expected to leave permanently at the end of this season.

Van de Beek had spent the second half of this campaign on loan with Eintracht Frankfurt, but the Bundesliga side are not ready to take up an option to buy for £9.5m.

With Frankfurt not interested in signing him permanently, he is officially now going back to Manchester United.

Albers in a statement via ESPN stated that Van de Been does not want to stay in the Premier League because Man United do not want that.

According to Albers, it was not a good choice for the Dutch player who needs to return to a club that plays good football.

Van de Beek agent has stated that he would not return to Ajax as he is already looking in to offers from Spain, Italy or France.
