Real Sociedad are 'actively working' on a deal for Manchester United midfielder Donny van de Beek, according to a report.

Real Sociedad are reportedly 'actively working' on a deal for Manchester United midfielder Donny van de Beek.

The 26-year-old's future is currently the subject of much speculation, with the Red Devils believed to be willing to let him leave during this summer's transfer window in order to make room for another midfield signing.

Van de Beek has been involved in Man United's preparations for the 2023-24 campaign, and he featured for the final 30 minutes of the team's last friendly against Real Madrid.

The Netherlands international also scored against Lyon in a friendly before the squad headed to the United States, but he admitted after that match that he could be on the move this summer.

"For now, it's hard to say where my future is. I've come back now after injury and I'm fit now, so I play my first minutes after training for a few weeks, so I try to push as hard as possible," Van de Beek told reporters at the time.

"Every day [something] can happen, so it's hard to say now where my future will be. In football you never know, especially with me, so let's see what happens.

"It's also a possibility that I move, so everything is open. It's hard to say now where my future is."

Van de Beek was restricted to just 10 appearances in all competitions during the 2022-23 campaign, having suffered a season-ending knee injury against Bournemouth in the early stages of the year.

The midfielder has another two years left to run on his contract, with the option of a further 12 months, but he is believed to be looking to leave this summer in search of regular action.

Van de Beek has largely found it difficult to make his mark for the 20-time English champions since arriving from Ajax in September 2020, only managing two goals and two assists in 60 appearances.

According to Noticias de Gipuzkoa, Real Sociedad are currently in the driving seat for his signature, with the Basque outfit 'actively working' on a deal for the Dutchman.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano added on his official Twitter account that negotiations are ongoing, but there is still no agreement over personal terms or a transfer fee.

Man United are said to be keen to move both Van de Beek and Fred on this summer in order to make room for Sofyan Amrabat, who could arrive from Fiorentina in a £30m deal.

Fred did not travel with the Red Devils on their pre-season tour of the United States, and he is currently being heavily linked with a move to Turkish giants Galatasaray, while Scott McTominay is also thought to be wanted by Scott McTominay.
