MANCHESTER UNITED will reject any approaches for Donny van de Beek this summer despite a flop first season.
SunSport understands his former club Ajax are keen on bringing the Dutch midfielder back on loan.
But Old Trafford chiefs will reject that and issue a hands-off warning to any other interested teams.
United have big plans for the 24-year-old — who cost £40million last summer and has played just 330 minutes in the Premier League.
The Red Devils have told him to sit tight and he will get his chance — even though he has struggled to break into Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s starting 11.
Van de Beek and Solskjaer have held talks recently about his future and the United boss made his stance clear.
The Holland international has become a big fan favourite at the club despite his lack of first-team action.
Just last week La Repubblica suggested United were considering offering Van de Beek to Roma in part exchange for Nicolo Zaniolo.
Old Trafford chiefs were said to be “pressing and testing the water” over the Italy attacking midfielder, 21.

But it seems United have more faith in Van de Beek than rival clubs realise.
Zaniolo was linked with United and Paris Saint-Germain two years ago.
Tottenham then reportedly had a £45m bid for the seven-cap starlet turned down last summer.
