Manchester United to use Donny van de Beek as makeweight in Erling Braut Haaland deal?

Manchester United are reportedly prepared to include Donny van de Beek in any proposal for Borussia Dortmund forward Erling Braut Haaland.

The Premier League giants, as well as many of their rivals home and abroad, are considering whether to make an approach for the Norway international in the summer.

Dortmund are unlikely to be short of offers for the 20-year-old, who has netted 35 times in all competitions this season.

According to 90min, United may look to gain an edge in negotiations by giving the Bundesliga outfit an opportunity to sign Van de Beek.

The Dutch playmaker has endured a frustrating first campaign at Old Trafford, making just 12 starts and 15 substitutes outings in all competitions.

With United looking to reduce their financial outlay due to the implications of the coronavirus pandemic, they hope that Dortmund will be interested in signing Van de Beek in part-exchange.

United allegedly feel that it is unlikely that they will be able to recoup the £40m which they paid for the 23-year-old last year.
