The reason for this being an important deal is the fact that Man United need to sell players before bringing anyone else through the doors of Old Trafford.
David Ornstein has also reported that Man United are now working on a deal to sign Fiorentina’s Sofyan Amrabat, which could hint at a near exit for Van de Beek; but with Deadline Day so close, it remains to be seen if all this can get done.
