Van de Beek determined to quit Man Utd in January

Donny van de Beek plans to push for another Manchester United exit in January.

Van de Beek had to be consoled by two of United's other substitutes, Eric Bailly and Dean Henderson, when manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer decided to leave him on the bench and send on Jesse Lingard and Fred in the 89th minute of their Champions League defeat of Villarreal.

The furious Dutchman showed his frustration by taking a piece of chewing gum out of his mouth and hurling it into the technical area where Solskjaer and his assistant Mike Phelan were standing.

The 24-year-old was keen on a loan move to Everton – the visitors to Old Trafford on Saturday – after his representatives held talks with the Merseyside club this summer, but it was blocked by United on deadline day.

Now Van de Beek will renew his efforts to find another club in the January transfer window after seeing no improvement in his situation despite assurances from Solskjaer that he would play more, says the Daily Mail.
