According to reports from ESPN, Manchester United and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer are confident of signing Van de Beek from Ajax in the January transfer window. But the 22-year-old will not come cheap as the Premier League club might have to pay a transfer fee of over 50 million Euros. The midfielder was an important part of the Ajax side that reached the Champions League semi-finals last season.

United are looking to strengthen their midfield and possibly find a replacement to Paul Pogba, who is also linked with a move away from Manchester for some time now.
