DONNY VAN DE BEEK is almost certain to seal a transfer away from Manchester United after fans have slammed him for his performance against Real Sociedad.
The Dutchman, 25, rarely features for the Red Devils despite his ex-Ajax boss, Erik ten Hag, being in charge.
Van de Beek has played just five times for United this season and has struggled with injury.
His latest appearance came in the 1-0 Europa League group win over Real Sociedad.
However, Van de Beek failed to impress.
He struggled to get on the ball and make any kind of contribution to the game.

Another said: “Donny van de Beek has blown his best chance yet at Manchester United.”
A third tweeted: “Donny van de Beek was given chance yesterday to prove himself but failed terribly.”

Despite his woes since his £39million 2020 transfer, Van de Beek still feels he can make an impact at Old Trafford.
Speaking to the club website, Van de Beek said: “To be injured is the most difficult thing for a player.
“You want to be on the pitch, around the guys in the stadium, feel the grass and, yeah, it’s a hard time if you are injured.
“I’m happy to be back and have to stay fit for a longer time and just try to help the team.
“I feel great, I feel good and what I’m saying is I just need to keep going and, if chances come, I have to take them.
“It [playing an attacking role] is also one of the points how I can maybe help the team, play in between the lines and make my runs with the ball, give some passes.
“I just do my best and have to stay fit and just help the team.
