Man United close to signing Ajax midfielder Donny van de Beek

According to reports in the English press, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is all set to make his first signing of the summer as Manchester United are closing in on a deal with Ajax midfielder Donny van de Beek. The 23-year-old helped the Amsterdam side reach last year's Champions League semi-finals and has been linked with a variety of high-profile moves. Ajax manager said that there had been developments regarding Van de Beek's future after the player was conspicuous by his absence from the squad for Saturday's friendly against Eintracht Frankfurt. It is understood that the Red Devils have since made progress and are close to agreeing terms with both club and player.
