Manchester United midfielder Donny van de Beek is expected for his medical with Eintracht Frankfurt today ahead of his January loan move.

The Bundesliga side expect to have medical tests and formalities completed over the next 48 hours for the Holland international who has struggled to establish himself at Old Trafford since signing from Ajax for £35million in 2020.

Van de Beek will remain part of United’s squad and was an unused substitute at Anfield on Sunday. However, he will complete his move in a fortnight should the medical go to plan.

United have agreed an option to buy that could reach up to £12.5m with add ons.

Frankfurt coach Dino Toppmöller told DAZN: ‘Everyone who knows a bit about football is aware that he is an outstandingly good footballer.’

United added Mason Mount and Sofyan Amrabat last summer and have the added bonus of Kobbie Mainoo emerging from the club’s academy to strengthen first team midfield options.

United are still looking to offload Jadon Sancho and Anthony Martial next month.
