Manchester United have not included an option to buy in Donny van de Beek's loan to Everton.

The Dutch playmaker has agreed to join Everton over Crystal Palace after both clubs expressed interest in signing him on loan.

The Daily Mail says United knocked back Everton's request to include an option-to-buy clause.

This seemingly means United believe van de Beek could still have a future at Old Trafford.

Signed for £40m from Ajax in 2020, van de Beek has not made a single Premier League start this season.

Everton will pay a £500,000 loan fee and cover the entirety of van de Beek's £100,000-per-week wages.
