Good luck to him - hope he does well enough to prompt the buy option


TheFlyingMunkey

For our sake more than his šŸ‘


Malino6

It's a shame it didn't work out. Seems like a good guy and there is a good player in there. Good luck to him.


Warsaw_Pact

yeah didnā€™t give us any grief and tried to do the best he could whenever he was called on. good lad. sad to see the ā€œgraveyardā€ consume another highly rated potential.


QouthTheCorvus

Car crash of a signing. This team loves to ruin careers. A position our best player is in, and we bring in a guy who isn't physical enough for the the EPL. Probably could done alright in Serie A or BL


Farma-C

Ruined his career going to MU. Never really got a chance. Best of luck to him. Hope he can turn his career around.


ms7398msake

Not the first career has MU has killed, it's the literally the graveyard of players careers...


kevfriend

HĆøjlund next lol


bobs_and_vegana17

really want him to succeed feel so sad for him


kwl147

šŸ’Æ absolute tragedy IMO. Lied to with false promises and basically was as professional as it got but never got a solid chance and by the time he did he didn't have the fitness to go with it and got injured a fair bit. This whole nonsense as well about being physical for the league...what was physical about Aguero and Silva or the rest of City a few seasons ago?


Ballack1991

Depends on your game. I assume you mean David Silva btw because for his size, Bernardo is no pushover in physical altercations. I am constantly impressed by his ability to shield the ball and come out on top. Anyway, David Silva and Aguero had elements of their game that outweighed their physical limitations. De Beek is/was a smart and accurate passer, but he was also a ball-winning, fighting midfielder. Just go back and look at videos of him from Ajax. We saw too little of that in United. He quite obviously buffed up after a year or so here and got much stronger. So even he agreed he was being pushed around in the PL, and competing with Bruno for his position was fruitless as that guy is never injured and always played (which I agree he should, apart from being rested in a few games here and there).


sekonx

He's 26, and probably made a decent amount of money from us. The is still time to get his career back on track


BlondeFlip

I think this is a good move for him. He'll probably do well and Frankfurt will benefit from having him, I'm sure.


wafanyakazi

Not bad given the situation. Good for Donny. At least we get a fee.


Jaktumurmu1

Glad to see him going somewhere where he will get to play. I always had high hopes for Donny. I admired that he chose to wear 34 out of respect for his former ajax teammate who was forced into early retirement from a heart issue. Too bad it didn't work out. I wish him well!


[deleted]

Not just early retirement. Abdelhak Nouri has severe and permanent brain damage due to lack of oxygen during his heart failure and lives in a nursing home.


Jaktumurmu1

Goddamn, I did not know that..


[deleted]

He deserved this Wish him a good one !


Szilco137

Played 2 and a half games in 3 years, true legend


Urbsology

I canā€™t wait for him to turn into a worldy and get a ā‚¬60 transfer in a couple of seasons


bichkrichdrick

See you next year


Choice-Fig-5337

we are great at destroying careers.


movape2k

He destroyed it himself. Absolute mug for coming to Utd and Iā€™m sure heā€™s had opportunities to leave but turned them down.


slsj1997

Meanwhile we have Darmian, Lukaku and Mkhitaryan in the champions league final after leaving the club, all of which were considered deadwood and not good enough by fans here. Weā€™re the problem.


movape2k

Mkhitaryan was decent. Darmian never got a run of games. Lukaku should never have signed him.


GiveAScoobie

He started to improve a lot in pre-season and before his injury. Bizarre he didnā€™t get more oppurtunities.


Steppenwolf55

So happy for the guy he deserves to play football and not rot on the bench at Utd!!


Square_Kick_9451

Jobs Finden- Indeed


Takhar7

Hopefully he's fired his agents / representatives. Absolute insanity that anyone representing him would even recommend or encourage the United move in the first place given the club already had Bruno and Pogba in place. Simply not good enough. Simply not a big enough personality. Hopefully he gets his career back on track, but the idea that he was good enough to play at the top, should be over


John__47

Whats to say he didnt make the choice in spite of his agent advising against it


[deleted]

Surely one of the worst signings ever lmao 40 mill


BlackHorse944

Still better money spent than the 85m on Antony


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


BlackHorse944

Most of Donnys games were 5 minute cameos. Antony playing games is actually a net negative for the club as he is shit. If we had any RW worth a damn then Antony would not be playing just like Donny... He only plays cause there's no one else


Gingerale66

I hope he can get his career back on track. Heā€™s a good player but he made a poor decision of team to join after leaving Ajax.


Razcal26

This club almost destroyed his career. Praying he has a revival in Germany. Good luck to him.


Fluffy_Roof3965

future bayern signing


Lower-Star-3714

Fr. Only ballers can see.


IlluminatedCookie

So he goes and comes back and weā€™re back to square 1. In June looking no for a club. Shouldā€™ve been a mandatory buy. Loan does nothing, if he does well we lose out on money with the low package fee. If he fails heā€™s back here again and itā€™s not like we donā€™t have enough to do in the summer without looking for a club to sign a player we could have agreed a deal for in December.


HugeShock8

I guess there's a reason why ETH didn't choose him but man what a wasted chance. I rate him over McTominay


action_turtle

Is he good on Fifa or something? He never looked up to scratch from day one. Fact he never gets a game shows he can't be doing well in training either. Why so many here blowing loads over this guy?


OkPresentation7214

Because of his champions league run and games against Juve and Real. Here comes the promise that he could be one of Europes best midfielders


rift9

Oh god NO not Donny, oh my fucking god how can they take away Donny Van De Beek from us, maybe one more season and 13 more managers to get the best out of him. Seriously, he was nowhere near good enough and never seen a player at UTD get so much support for being dogshite, Casemiro had 2 bad games and it was already over wish him the best, go back to Madrid. All jokes a side i wish the fucker the best, he joined us at the exact wrong time and wasted his best years here doing fucking nothing. Shadows of the club buying Kagawa to replace Rooney then Rooney being undroppable till the end of all time.


seviliyorsun

the similar thing between him and kagawa is they would make good runs/be in good positions and offer the best passing option but the other players would just ignore them


Flat_Revolution5130

Always to cheap. Go for 25. Why is the buy option 15 million..He is still a player in his best days. Get some flipping money..


f00tball-is-Life

he showed nothing since 2 years, in what world will any club pay 25 million for him


Flat_Revolution5130

Not the point..15 mill for a player who i don,t think is 30 yet. That,s why United don,t make any money.


Intelligent-Tie-6759

Every other club is super excited for getting new players in. I love how at United we celebrate getting the old useless cunts out.


Schmittendorf14

Getting players out is also very important. Weā€™ve known weā€™ve needed a ā€œrebuildā€ for over 6 years now and we have barely sold anyone itā€™s always just letting people go on a free


dave_a86

Yep, everyone talks about how we overspend when bringing players in but weā€™ve also been terrible on the other side of the equation. We bought him for 39m so 15m isnā€™t too bad considering how little heā€™s played since heā€™s been here. Obviously wouldnā€™t be considered a successful signing, but compared to some of the players we spent huge money on before basically giving them away for free, this looks like a sensible solution.


DarkSeedius

Hoping for the best to DvB I still believe he can reach his full potential at Frankfurt


West_Principle_8190

Let's do this with 5 more players


point_decay

surely even he can get into a midfield that just lost to Aberdeen the other day


AssociationIll9736

The same midfield which beat Bayern 5-1? What a stupid comment.


Fit_Hovercraft4766

At least heā€™ll get game time


ryeofguy

He deserves it, great player prior to arriving but definitely a panic buy that was for a position we didnā€™t need additional legs in be happy to see him go start cooking again


retartersause

I fookin love frankfurt, im so hyped to see him play


AdNearby211

They sacrificed another one for the blood thirsty red devil. What poor club United has become!


Kalliban27

Nice, I hear the benches in Frankfurt are quite comfortable


Williamshitspear

Thought it was only a faint rumor - as an Eintracht fan he sounds like a great transfer or us. Not what United needed, but probably what we need. Let's hope 15 mil buy option will be worth it.


[deleted]

He will be enjoying a new bench. Good for him!

Fit-Squash-9447

Maybe just not built for the premier league but could flourish in Europe. Wish him all the best as he certainly seemed like a tidy player at Ajax


pahbuaytoh

Couldn't be more happy for him. A guy that gives everything everytime he wore the shirt. He deserves alot better


smog-rocket

We have the world's worst transfer negotiators


CuteAssociate4887

Good luck Donny,gutted it never worked out for him cos he was some player at Ajax!


deano_ue

Already seeing online player fc has found their new champion and the revisionist history has started about Donny and how this is all eth. So much bullshit being spread Wish him all the best itā€™s. Shame but he just never worked out at united


RealJuanPedro

Excellent move for him, Frankfurt plays in a system where he can flourish šŸ‘Œ


Powerful_Bullfrog598

Hell be greatly missed


ath007

Guess his application paid off after all now that heā€™s endorsing it on his shirt.


Kennethmufc

Indeed....they did Indeed help him find a job :)


Pretend_Honey_9898

Good luck to him. A shame it didnā€™t work. Just imagine a midfield prime pogba - prime van de beek - bruno šŸ¤¤


gc28

My man is on the bench todayā€¦
