Erik ten Hag expected to get 40 million euros for him, now the deal could be delayed

Manchester United and Erik ten Hag where expecting to increase the current budget of the team to keep bringing new players to the team, but now that situation could actually change in this few days.

The fact is that Erik ten Hag wanted to sell several players in this transfer window, first because there where players that they where not going to have an important role with the Manchester United next season and second to increase the current transfer budget of the team and then allow the red devils to bring some new faces to the team, and now both things might not even happen.

Erik ten Hag was ready to say goodbye to one of the players that he expected the most out of in the past season, Donny van de Beek, and the fact is that with the Real Sociedad interest to make the deal happen, it seems that the midfielder time as a red devils was ready to be done, but now it seems that things could take an unexpected and unwanted turn.

“Mundo Deportivo” an important news paper in Spain has now reported that the Real Sociedad team is ready to drop any interest for Donny van de Beek, the reason being that the valuation of Manchester United for the player was too high for a player that gets injured very easily and now it seems that the deal is not going to happen at all.

Donny van de Beek situation
