Due to his scorching performance for the Eredivisie team, the midfielder moved from Ajax to Old Trafford in August 2020. However, during the last three years, Van de Beek has had difficulty maintaining a consistent level of play.
The 26-year-old has made just seven appearances for the Red Devils this season, and an injury that prevented him from playing in the second half of United's season further slowed down his ascent to the first team.
Van de Beek suffered a knee injury during a Premier League match against Bournemouth in early January, and he has only recently begun to return to regular training.
Fabrizio Romano claims that in addition to getting back in shape, Van de Beek will spend the summer considering his options.
While the player "loves the club," the transfer guru tweeted, "consistent playing time is of paramount importance to him."
Throughout his three years at United, including during his six-month loan stint at Everton in the second half of the 2021–22 season, Van de Beek has never appeared in more than six straight games.

Given that Ten Hag is trying to raise money and reduce the squad's pay bill in order to make a number of summer additions, the news that Van de Beek may decide to go is unlikely to raise any eyebrows within the club.
The Dutch manager is looking to strengthen his team in a variety of positions, with a stronger midfield, a true striker, and a redesigned backline all being prioritized for hiring.
After Kim Min-jae's impressive performance at the Campania club helped them win their first Scudetto in 33 years, United is reportedly leading the pack in the battle to sign him.
Kim is rumored to be so certain about moving up north that he has bid his teammates in Naples farewell.
The West London Premier League rivals of Manchester United, who apparently agreed on personal terms with Chelsea player Mason Mount after the end of the season, have begun negotiations to sign Mount.
Ten Hag is also eager to acquire Harry Kane, the talismanic striker for Tottenham, but should the club's desires be frustrated by Daniel Levy's refusal to sell to a top-flight team,
