Calcio Mercato declare that Roma are eager to renew their curiosity in Van de Beek and intend to make him one in every of their first signings beneath Mourinho after he “didn’t settle” since becoming a member of United final summer time.
The report is precisely three sentences lengthy, however there are a lot of purple flags about its viability. First, it claims that Mourinho and Van de Beek ‘met in Manchester’, regardless of the boss leaving in December 2018 – a full 18 months earlier than the Dutchman arrived.
Van de Beek has been discussing this up to now, as if United have already given him up, however there isn’t a indication but that that is in reality the case. 90 minutes was informed in April that the membership is open to maneuver him this summer time, however provided that it facilitates a brand new switch – for instance a deal for one in every of Borussia Dortmund’s Jadon Sancho or Erling Haaland.
However they aren’t able to pull the plug on him but. His one season at Manchester has been troublesome, particularly with the shape of Bruno Fernandes preserving him out of the crew, however there continues to be hope that he might ship his potential – he is just 24.

Provided that they paid £ 40 million for him a yr in the past, it appears impossible that they are going to accept a major loss on it this summer time.
Calcio Mercato means that Roma contacted United about Van de Beek earlier within the season, however had been scared once they requested Nicolo Zaniolo in return. However he has not kicked a ball because the final day of final season in opposition to Juventus because of a critical cross harm, so once more it appears unlikely.
It will not be fully off the desk that Van de Beek can be a part of Roma in some unspecified time in the future, however the precedence in the intervening time appears to be to seek out a position for him within the United crew. In January, he was resolute to not “hand over” his profession at Outdated Trafford, and with United’s hectic schedule, he might have a much bigger position to play within the remaining matches of the season.
