Newcastle United plan a January move for Manchester United outcast Donny van de Beek.

The Sun says Newcastle are set to revive their interest in Van de Beek after missing out on him in summer 2020.

The Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund finally completed their £300m takeover of the Magpies last month, after their initial bid fell through last year.

And according to reports, had the takeover bid had been successful, Van de Beek, 24, would have been the first player brought to St. James' Park.

But instead, the player signed for Man Utd for £39m in September 2020, and has had a nightmare 14 months at Old Trafford under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

The Dutchman started only four Premier League games last season and has played just 16 minutes so far this campaign.

He has lost his place in the Dutch national team and despite loving the club and its fans, Van de Beek is prepared to quit Old Trafford for first team football.
