Manchester United reportedly offered Donny Van de Beek to AS Roma on loan, but Jose Mourinho did not want the midfielder.
According to LaRoma24.it, the proposal was made on transfer deadline day when United directors called Roma chief Tiago Pinto to suggest the idea.
Roma have won all four of their competitive games so far this season between Serie A and the UEFA Europa Conference League.
The same report claimed Jose Mourinho turned down Van De Beek, wanting a player with different characteristics in his Giallorossi squad.
However, the agent of Donny Van de Beek has taken a swipe at Manchester United, claiming the club blocked a transfer for the Netherlands international.
Guido Albers (Donny van de Beek’s agent): “Today I’ve been trying to find a club for Donny. Everyone knows the situation. We worked very hard for it, but the club [Man Utd] is blocking everything. There was much interest from Italy, Germany & England.”
Manchester United paid €39m to sign the Dutch international from Ajax in September 2020, but he has struggled since moving to the club, failing to establish himself as a regular in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s starting line-up.
