MANN: Van der Beek had already finalized a transfer last summer window, but was stopped by the boss

According to the Manchester Evening News, Van der Beek had completed a transfer to Everton on loan last summer, but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer called a halt before closing the window.

Van der Beek joined Manchester United in 2020, he failed to perform well in his first season with the team, and after missing the European Championship last summer due to injury, van der Beek focused on Manchester United, and his performance in the pre-season preparation period has improved, but after the start of the season, the Dutch midfielder still has few opportunities.

By the end of August, Van der Beek was trying to leave Manchester United, and 48 hours before the summer window closed, United agreed to lend him out to Everton, and the deal was almost complete. But on the day of the closing, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer vetoed the deal and he didn't want to lose a midfielder. Meanwhile, solskjaer praised van der Beek's professionalism and promised to revisit the situation at Christmas if the Dutchman remained unhappy, but solskjaer didn't think that would happen.

However, Van de Beek only got five minutes of playing time in the first 10 league games of the season, while fans chanted his name. In late November against Watford, Van de Beek scored a goal off the bench, but United suffered a 4-1 defeat and sols were subsequently sacked.
