According to the Athletic’s David Ornstein (subscription required), Ajax star Donny van de Beek is set to decide on his plans for the future in the ‘coming week’s amid interest from Manchester United and Real Madrid.

It’s claimed that the 22-year-old is one of several Ajax players that is eyeing the exit door at the end of the season following confirmation of Hakim Ziyech’s summer move to Chelsea.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has recently bolstered his midfield ranks with the signing of Portuguese playmaker Bruno Fernandes, should a possible move for Van de Beek be a priority for the Manchester outfit?

It’s unclear whether the Red Devils are still in the running for the Dutchman with the Star reporting last month that the ace was set to seal a £47m move to Los Blancos.
