Already a few months ago, ESPN first reported on the interest of the Red Devils in the Van de Beck that he has two years left on his contract with Ajax. Since Ronald Koeman has been appointed Barcelona coach, the Catalans have also been linked with the player but Ola Gunnar Solskjaer is making efforts to persuade him to join Old Trafford.
