Manchester United midfieder Donny van de Beek has joined Eintracht Frankfurt on loan for the rest of the 2023-24 season, United said on Monday.
The 26-year-old Dutch international joined United in 2020 from Ajax Amsterdam but has not featured regularly for the club. He has made only two Premier League starts for United since returning from a loan spell at Everton in 2022.

“Donny van de Beek fits our game idea perfectly and is an important piece of the puzzle for our team. He brings a wealth of international experience that our young players will benefit from. Donny exudes a goal-scoring threat and, above all, should put our attackers in promising positions,” said Eintracht sports director Markus Krosche.
After missing the first half of 2023 due to a ligament injury, he has appeared only once in the league this season as a late substitute.
“Van de Beek will be pushing for more playing time in Germany,” United said in a statement.
“Eintracht Frankfurt are currently sixth in the Bundesliga and face a UEFA Europa Conference League play-off with Union Saint-Gilloise of Belgium in February.”

In total, the 26-year-old has made 62 appearances and scored two goals for United since joining from Ajax in 2020, and also played seven games for Everton during a loan spell in 2022.
Van de Beek helped Ajax reach the Champions League semi-final in 2019, and has played 19 times for the Netherlands, scoring three goals.
