After a disastrous debut season in the Premier League, the midfielder’s situation hasn’t improved and he has now only played 15 minutes of football during the 2021/22 campaign.

Everton are now preparing to once again attempt to rescue van de Beek from his troubles at Old Trafford with a loan deal in January, with Rob Dawson claiming that a host of clubs are interested in the player.

According to ESPN a number of Manchester United players – including van de Beek, Anthony Martial and Jesse Lingard – have expressed their anger at Solskjaer after the ex-Red Devils striker had promised them that he would rotate the squad more this season after ‘overplaying' his key players during the previous campaign.

The Dutchman feels he has been misled by his coach and, with it looking increasingly unlikely that Solskjaer will leave Old Trafford in the near future, van de Beek is reportedly keen to explore his options ahead of the transfer window.

The former Ajax man also made a telling statement by hiring a new agent earlier this month as he looks for a new adventure.
