Donny van de Beek rules out January transfer move to Manchester United

Ajax midfielder Donny van de Beek has ruled out a move to Manchester United in the January transfer window.

The 22-year-old is one of a number of midfielders to be linked with a move to Old Trafford in recent weeks with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer looking to strengthen in the middle this month.

But, the Ajax star has issued an update on his future insisting he won't be moving anywhere in the current window and has even cast doubt over a move in the summer.

"It is not that I can or want to do something at the moment," Van de Beek told FOX Sports Netherlands. "I have said it before and I will say it again: I will remain at Ajax this season. And maybe next season as well.

"These reports about Real Madrid or Man United are a good sign, but it is not important now. I've said I will stay at Ajax and I will do so for 100%."

But despite ruling out a move for now it was put to the midfielder that there would be positives and negatives to making a move to United with the club currently in the middle of a rebuild and transitional period.

Something the 22-year-old agreed with.

"Yeah, you're right," he said. "You can look at it like that. It is not something that is in my mind right now, but what you say is true."
