Manchester United have reportedly accepted loan offer from Lorient for Donny van de Beek.

The Dutch international is expected to decide his future ahead of Friday’s transfer deadline.

Lorient have reached an agreement with Man United over a season-long loan for Van de Beek, according to Foot Mercato.

The French club are now seeking to convince the midfielder to join, but face competition from several clubs for his signature.

Van de Beek has been linked with a return to his former club Ajax, where he starred before joining United for £35million three years ago.

During his time at Ajax van de Beek made 175 appearances and scored 41 goals.

He won the Eredivisie and Dutch Cup in the 2018-19 campaign and was also part of the side that reached the final of the Europa League in 2017, when Ajax lost to United.

Lorient’s pursuit may be boosted by their promising start to the Ligue 1 season.

Regis Le Bris’s side are unbeaten after the opening three matches of the campaign, recording one win and two draws.

Man United had been hoping to sell Van de Beek, with the midfielder having been in talks with La Liga outfit Real Sociedad earlier in the transfer window.

Van de Beek has played 60 times for United in total but has made just six starts in the Premier League.

He also played seven times on loan at Everton during the 2021-22 season.

Van de Beek has not featured in Man United’s matchday squad for their opening three matches of the Premier League season.
