United insisting on Van de Beek

Donny Van de Beek's future lies further and further away from Ajax. Manchester United have increased their interest in the Dutch attacker, who is also a target for Real Madrid.

United and Madrid are the main candidates to sign one of the most sought after players in recent seasons.

According to 'Daily Express', Manchester United are the team in the lead to complete the transfer of the Dutch star who is just 22. His Ajax contract ends in 2022.

And that is despite the fact Real Madrid pretty much had the Ajax footballer in the bag last January. However, the deal fell through and the Premier League club are trying to take advantage of this circumstance to beat Real to their man.

There are still no reports as to the amount United or Madrid would have to pay for Van de Beek, but it would definitely be over 50 million euros since Ajax do not want to let him leave.
