Donny van de Beek's time at Manchester United has felt off since about a month after he arrived from Ajax in 2020, and it has been no surprise to learn he is reportedly among the cohort of unhappy players at Old Trafford.
The Dutchman's father-in-law Dennis Bergkamp is said to have attempted to accelerate a loan exit for Van de Beek, contacting his former Arsenal colleague Patrick Vieira over a potential move to Vieira's Crystal Palace side.
Things haven't worked out for the 24-year-old despite a goal on his United debut - coincidentally against Palace - and he has started just four Premier League games despite Ole Gunnar Solskjaer being sacked and Ralf Rangnick taking interim charge.
