Donny van de Beek hints at imminent Manchester United move on Instagram

Donny van de Beek appears to have packed his bags - literally - ahead of his impending move to Manchester United.

United are closing in a £40million deal to bring the Ajax midfielder to Old Trafford with transfer talks progressing quickly over the weekend.

The 23-year-old was part of the Netherlands squad preparing for Nations League matches against Poland and Italy, but reportedly left the camp to undergo a medical ahead of his move to United.

And following those reports, Van de Beek shared a photo on Instagram, arriving at an unspecified location with his luggage in tow. While the midfielder tagged the Dutch national team (@onsoranje), that's hasn't stopped the welcome messages from United fans - and players - flooding in.

The post has been liked almost 200,000 times, including one from United defender and compatriot Timothy Fosu-Mensah.
