United boss Erik ten Hag has already confirmed that he will be allowed to leave Old Trafford in January, stating: “I can see he has to play for his career and for everything.”

And according to Turkish outlet Sporx, Galatasaray are considering a transfer.

The Super Lig giants are expected to bid for Van de Beek when the transfer window opens.

Contact has already been made between the Dutchman and Galatasaray officials.

Van de Beek has made 62 appearances for United since joining in a £39million transfer from Ajax in 2020.

He almost completed a move to Real Sociedad earlier this year, but it fell through at the last minute.

Discussing the failed transfer, the midfielder told Diario AS: “I was close to going to Real Sociedad, but at the last minute, the clubs could not reach an agreement.”

He added: “The time comes when a decision has to be made.

“I have to start playing games very soon, if it’s not possible at United, then I will go to another club.

“I think this is a healthy ambition. I make a good living at United, but money has never been my motivation.”

United squandered a two-goal lead to draw 3-3 with Galatasaray on Wednesday, putting a huge dent in their Champions League hopes.
