Man United agree fee for Van de Beek

Manchester United are closing in on the signing of Ajax midfielder Donny van de Beek after the two clubs reportedly agreed a fee in the region of £40 million and personal terms.

The 23-year-old Netherlands midfielder is set to sign a five-year deal, which should allow him to be available for United's opening game of the 2020-21 season, against Crystal Palace on 19 September.

He will become Solskjaer's first close-season signing after a much-publicised move for Borussia Dortmund's England winger Jadon Sancho stalled over the size of the fee.

Van de Beek was part of the Ajax side that got to the Champions League semifinals in 2019.
