Dear fans and friends, Manchester United's winter purge has officially begun! First of all, Dutch midfielder Donny van de Beek, who has reached an agreement with Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt and will soon leave Old Trafford!
This will be a new beginning for Xiao Fan. Let's wait and see if he can regain his former glory in the Bundesliga!
1. The first batch of winter window cleaning lists were exposed, and Manchester United won 15 million
Junior Fan is not the target of manager Ten Hag's purge, but the decision of the team's hierarchy. Eintracht Frankfurt have verbally agreed to spend half a season on loan at the Dutchman without rent, with the option to pay a €15 million buyout fee at any time before the winter window opens, converting the loan agreement into a permanent transfer. This is the best option for both parties.
Fan himself has already agreed to join Eintracht Frankfurt. When Sky Sports Germany reporters met him, the two spoke freely about the transfer. The reporter also gave Xiao Fan a detailed introduction to the situation of the Frankfurt club, and after listening to it, Van de Beek seemed very excited and prepared to leave for Germany the next day to accept the arrangement of the new club.
Second, Frankfurt moved the rescue troops and warmly welcomed the Red Devils to join the battle
Eintracht Frankfurt coach Topmüller has long been expecting the arrival of Younger. 'You know, Donny van de Beek is an outstanding player. Topmueller publicly praised.
The team is also ready for the warmest welcome ceremony, Xiao Fan will complete the medical examination on the opening day of the winter window on January 1, and can start training the next day to integrate into the team as soon as possible.
Eintracht Frankfurt's sporting director, Plettenburg, revealed: "We plan to make a formal announcement of Donny van de Beek's arrival on Wednesday. He believes that Xiao Fan will quickly become the mainstay of the team.
Third, Barcelona refused to pay Sancho a sky-high price, and Manchester United suffered heavy losses and could only deal with it at a low price
Originally, Manchester United also wanted to sell Xiao Fan to Barcelona at a high price, and wanted to ask for a sky-high transfer fee of 35 million pounds. There is even a desire to trade Brazilian winger Raphinha for Jadon Sancho. However, the Spaniard was not convinced, deeming the price "completely ridiculous" and rejecting the deal.
As a result, Manchester United can only sell Xiao Fan at a low price. They had already paid £39 million for the Dutch midfielder when they signed him in 2020, and now the £15 million selling price is inevitably disappointing. Add to that the £73 million buy of Jadon Sancho, and the Red Devils' losses are even worse.
Fourth, the inside story was shocked, and Ten Hag, like his predecessor, did not want to see Van de Beek
Everyone thought that Ten Hag would reuse his old subordinates. Unexpectedly, Xiao Fan's situation under the new coach has not improved, and he is still a cold bench guest. Since taking charge, the Dutch midfielder has played just eight Premier League games for the Red Devils.
The reasons are, first, Xiao Fan's own self-confidence has been hit hard and his state has declined. The second is that Manchester United's current squad is not suitable for his characteristics, and Ten Hag is also adjusting his tactics and can't take care of the veterans.
5. Van de Beek did not play in the farewell game, and Eintracht Frankfurt is ready for the welcome ceremony
Monday's game away to Liverpool was Younger's last game at Manchester United. Unfortunately, he didn't get a chance to play, so he had to sit on the bench and watch his teammates sweat.
However, the other team can't wait to take on Xiao Fan. Eintracht Frankfurt fans and managers are looking forward to his arrival and believe that he will soon have a second spring!
Some netizens said: I really didn't expect that Van de Beek would be so miserable under his mentor, Manchester United was so unfair to him!
Some netizens said: The Bundesliga is ready, Xiao Fan come on! I hope you can regain your form and shine in Frankfurt!
Some netizens said: Ten Hag is too unreasonable, his old subordinates don't want it, it's inexplicable!
In this transfer, Xiao Fan's situation is sympathetic. It's a shame that both United managers couldn't let the skilful midfielder shine. However, in the familiar Bundesliga, Donny van de Beek is likely to make a comeback.
Finally, I still have to ask a question: is it Xiao Fan's own strength that has declined too much, or is it Manchester United's wrong treatment of him that has caused him to be unable to play?
