Manchester United and Galatasaray are in discussions over a loan deal for Donny van de Beek, while French side Lorient also offer the Dutchman a way out of Old Trafford

Manchester United are in discussions with Galatasaray over a loan move for Dutch midfielder Donny van de Beek as the player edges nearer to a departure.

The out-of-favour star is set to leave Old Trafford as Erik ten Hag attempts to trim his squad of talents deemed surplus to requirements before the transfer window closes.

Van de Beek has endured a torrid time in Manchester after completing a £40m transfer from Ajax three years ago, where he arrived with a promising reputation at the time.

Injuries, an unsuccessful loan move to Everton and failure to secure consistent first-team opportunities at United leaves the 26-year-old seeking an exit to reignite his career.
