MANCHESTER UNITED midfielder Donny van de Beek has failed to seal a permanent move to Eintracht Frankfurt following a dismal loan spell, his agent has confirmed.
The Dutch midfielder, 27, joined the German club in January until the end of the season.
Included within the deal was a £12million option to buy should Frankfurt choose to trigger a permanent move.
But according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Van de Beek’s agent has now confirmed Frankfurt will NOT buy the ex-Ajax man.
It means he will return to Man Utd in the summer as he searches for an alternative move.
Van de Beek has failed to register a goal contribution in eight appearances for Frankfurt.
He has started just four games in four months for the Bundesliga outfit.
Van de Beek has struggled for minutes ever since arriving at Man Utd from Ajax nearly four years ago.
He arrived for £40m having flourished at Ajax, scoring 41 goals and assisting 34 in 175 games.
He was an instrumental part of Erik ten Hag‘s side that reached the Champions League semi-finals in 2019.

But he has never found his feet in Manchester, playing just 62 games across four campaigns.
In that time, he has scored two goals and provided two assists.
The disappointing Frankfurt loan comes after he also spent time at Everton in 2022, leaving with just seven appearances and one goal under his belt.
It is expected Man Utd will take around a £30m hit on Van de Beek in the summer as they look to finally get him off their books.
