Manchester United fans are feeling saddened by the news that Donny van de Beek has left the club on loan. The Dutch midfielder has joined Eintracht Frankfurt for the rest of the season, with the option for the Bundesliga side to sign him permanently in the summer for up to £12million. This move could potentially mark the end of Van de Beek's time at Old Trafford, as he has struggled to live up to expectations since joining the club in 2020.

Fans share their disappointment on social media

United fans took to social media to express their sadness about Van de Beek's failed spell at the club. Many had high hopes for him when he first arrived, but it seems things didn't quite work out. One fan said, "Had high hopes for him when he came but sadly never worked out." Another fan expressed their disappointment, saying, "Disappointed that it didn't work out." Others sympathized with the midfielder, with one fan feeling sorry for him and calling his signing a panic buy. Despite the disappointment, fans wished Van de Beek the best of luck in his future endeavors.

A challenging time at Manchester United

Van de Beek's time at Manchester United has been far from successful. Since his £40m move from Ajax, he has only managed to score two goals in 62 appearances. His poor form led to him being dropped from the Netherlands squad, and he was loaned out to Everton in 2022. This season, he only made two substitute appearances, totaling just 21 minutes of playing time. It became clear that a move away was necessary for him to revive his career.

Now, Van de Beek will be hoping to prove himself in Germany and earn a spot on the Dutch national team for Euro 2024. He may even have a chance to make a comeback under his former boss, Erik ten Hag, next season.
