Donny van de Beek Eyes Barcelona Loan Move Amidst Limited Playing Time at Manchester United

In a reported bid for a fresh start, Dutch midfielder Donny van de Beek has expressed interest in a potential loan move to Barcelona this winter, as disclosed by Diario Sport. Having endured minimal playing time under manager Erik ten Hag at Manchester United, the 26-year-old seeks a new opportunity elsewhere.

This isn’t the first time van de Beek has reached out to Barcelona, having offered his services in 2021. However, his proposal was declined by then-manager Xavi, who believed the team had sufficient midfield options. With key midfielder Gavi currently sidelined due to injury until the next season, the question arises: Could Xavi reconsider and welcome van de Beek into the squad? Only time will unveil the decision.
