Manchester United fans have reacted positively to the news that the club is interested in signing goalscoring midfielder Donny Van Der Beek who plays for Dutch Eredivise giants Ajax Amsterdam.

According to ESPN, Manchester United want to sign Donny Van Der Beek who has scored eight goals and also provided six assists for Ajax Amsterdam in all competitions.

Donny Van Der Beek was a key member of the Ajax Amsterdam team that shocked the whole of European football last season as they reached the semifinals of the Champions League before they were eliminated by Premier League outfit Tottenham Hotspur.

He was strongly linked with Spanish giants Real Madrid last summer but nothing came out of the numerous transfer links.

Real Madrid are unlikely to pursue a move for him this month especially with the form of Federico Valverde who has been an important player for the Los Merengues this season.

The Uruguayan international has formed a potent midfield partnership with the duo of Casemiro and German international Toni Kroos in the Real Madrid midfield this season and that has led the immediate past European champions to joint top in the Spanish La Liga this term in addition to facing Manchester City in the last 16 of the Champions League.
