Erik ten Hag’s desire for complete control, akin to the management style of Sir Alex Ferguson, faces a challenge as reports suggest that one of his players, Donny van de Beek, is actively exploring the possibility of teaming up with former teammate Frenkie de Jong at Barcelona.

Given Gavi’s absence until the next season, the only feasible option for Donny van de Beek might be a loan deal, contingent on Barcelona having the financial means to facilitate such an agreement.

While Manchester United might not appreciate the player’s proactive approach, it appears there could be a potential deal to explore, considering van de Beek’s limited playing time at the club.
