After weeks of speculation, Manchester United have finally announced that they’ve signed Ajax’s Donny van de Beek for an initial fee of €39 million. The 23-year-old becomes the club’s first signing of this summer despite them having been linked with a catalogue of players, including Jadon Sancho.

According to the Guardian, Manchester United are closing in on their first move of the summer window after coming to an agreement over a £35.7 million deal for Donny van de Beek. The 23-year-old has attracted interest from Europe’s biggest clubs this summer, with Barcelona amongst his suitors.

Former Real Madrid star Rafael van der Vaart has admitted that it would be very tough for Donny van de Beek to turn down Real Madrid if they do make a move. The Ajax star is one of the few players left from the club’s sensational Champions League run last season but has been linked with a move away.

Former Bayern Munich and Real Madrid star Arjen Robben has confirmed that he is trying to work his way back into full fitness with the aim of eventually making a comeback. The Dutch winger retired from football after he opted against signing a contract extension with Bayern Munich last summer.
