But talkSPORT understands United are now on the verge of securing his signature for a fee of around £35million.

Van de Beek is understood to have agreed a five-year contract with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side and is set for a medical early next week.

The Netherlands international was left out of the Ajax squad for Saturday’s friendly against Hertha Berlin as talks with United reached an advanced stage.

Ajax coach Erik ten Haag, confirming his absence, said: “There are indeed developments that prevent him from being in the selection. We are looking at how that will end.”

Van de Beek’s move to United may have been helped by the fact Ajax’s chief executive is former player Edwin van der Sar.

Van de Beek has been with Ajax since he was a boy, breaking into their first-team in 2015. He’s scored 41 goals in 175 appearances and has ten international caps.

Liverpool 1-1 Leicester City: Reds fail to go seven points clear of Manchester City with lacklustre draw

Image
http://bit.ly/2GbpR4P Liverpool missed a golden opportunity to go seven points clear at the top of the Premier League after only managing a 1-1 draw at home to Leicester. Following Manchester City’s defeat at Newcastle last night, the Reds could have put themselves in a commanding position at the summit and got off to the perfect start when Sadio Mane gave Liverpool the lead after just two minutes. But the Reds were lacklustre and let Leicester back in it when Harry Maguire took advantage of some slack defending to equalise just before the break. It means Liverpool are now five points clear of Pep Guardiola’s men but it was not the result Jurgen Klopp’s men were looking for. MORE TO FOLLOW Let's block ads! (Why?)
