In the 26th round of the Premier League, Toffee Everton lost 2-0 away to Southampton and temporarily ranked 16th in the table with 22 points. However, considering that they are 3 games less, the pressure of relegation is actually not great. In this campaign, the Dutch international Van der Beek ushered in the second consecutive premier league start of his career and played the whole game, showing dedication. It is worth mentioning that although this is only his third game for the Toffee, the club is still very satisfied with his performance and has even begun to plan to start a permanent buyout procedure.
Everton lost their manager Carlo Ancelotti before the start of the season, and the new berth Benitez also stepped down because of poor results. After this, former Chelsea young coach Frank Lampard took office, and Everton also signed Ali, Van de Beek and other famous players in the winter window, which has greatly improved in strength. Among them, Van de Beek's loan signing belongs to the coach Lampard hand-picked, the two players have similar positions in the era, both are good at the No. 8 position, Lampard affirmed the value of Van de Beek, which made the Dutch international who was depressed at Manchester United moved, so he rejected the Crystal Palace team that his father-in-law Bergkamp matched, and ran to Lampard without hesitation.
In the 24th round of the Premier League, Everton lost 3-away to relegation opponents Newcastle United, and Van de Beek made his Toffee debut off the bench, sending 1 shot and 1 breakthrough in 30 minutes, with a pass success rate of 93%. In the ensuing home match against Leeds United, Van de Beek was given the opportunity to start and play the whole game, which was his fourth start after landing in the Premier League. In the game, the Dutch midfielder can be described as a full effort, he dedicated the highest 4 steals in the game, sent 1 key pass, won 7 ground confrontations, 3 air confrontations, 10 times to regain the ball, and the pass success rate reached 89%. After the game, Van der Beek was named Everton's best player.
Lampard spoke highly of his performance, saying that the Dutch midfielder's physical prowess and keen observation during the game were impressive, and there was no doubt that this was a top player. Such praise may not have been heard for a long time for the 24-year-old Van de Beek.
However, Everton wanted to buy out Van de Beek, but it was not easy. His loan contract did not include any buyout clauses, which meant that Everton would have to negotiate hard with Manchester United and pay a hefty transfer fee if they really wanted to keep Van der Beek. And even if they are willing to meet the transfer fees offered by Manchester United, Everton may not be able to get what they want.
Manchester United interim manager Lonnick's coaching will come to an end this summer, after which he will continue to work for Manchester United as a consultant. In a long list of manchester United's new manager candidates, the most vocal are the current Paris manager Pochettino and the Dutch Ajax coach Tenhag. Pochettino is very familiar with the Premier League and many players in The United squad welcomed his coaching. However, the 52-year-old Dutch coach Tenhag is more favored by Manchester United's top brass, with new CEO Alexander-Arnold and interim manager Rangnick seeing him as a long-term candidate to coach Manchester United. It is worth mentioning that it is under him that the young van der Beek has grown rapidly and emerged in the Champions League and national team competitions, becoming a genius of the Jia fu generation on a par with De Jong, De Ligt and others.
If Tenhag eventually joins Old Trafford, van der Beek has a good chance of being reused under his mentor, and even if Lampard has the grace of knowing him, it will be difficult to keep Van de Beek. After all, with Everton's influence, it is obviously not comparable to Manchester United, the first giant in the Premier League.
