Van de Beek determined to make Everton loan move permanent
Donny van de Beek has enjoyed a bright start to his Everton career, already playing far more minutes for the Toffees than he managed over the entire first half of the season at Manchester United. With 210 Premier League minutes at his new club, the Dutchman has surpassed the 68 minutes he was given at Old Trafford and he is enjoying his football once again.

Although Everton are still struggling near the bottom of the Premier League table, Van de Beek is just happy to be playing again and this is why he hopes that his six-month loan move to Goodison Park can be made permanent.
That’s according to the Daily Star, who report than Van de Beek’s mind is already made up. Internally, he hopes that he has already made his last appearance for Manchester United, who he signed for in 2020 before spending a year and a half warming the bench.
His move from Ajax to Manchester United cost the Red Devils £35 million, but it is believed that they’d be willing to accept a bid of around £20 million from Everton in the summer.
Rangnick has moved on from Van de Beek
It appears Ralf Rangnick would be happy to see Van de Beek move on too. The interim coach spoke about how the dressing room atmosphere has improved since certain players departed in January, suggesting it had been a problem to have talents like Van de Beek there but not playing.
"There were players unhappy, as the squad was too big," Rangnick said in a press conference this week. "Players realised they wouldn't get game time and the atmosphere is better than it used to be a couple of weeks ago. Now, it's about performing well, showing togetherness on the pitch, winning games. Those are the things we can influence."
