Donny van de Beek 'agrees five-year Manchester United contract'

Ajax midfielder Donny van de Beek has reportedly agreed a five-year contract with Manchester United.

The two clubs are understood to have agreed on a transfer fee for the 23-year-old, with Ajax set to earn an initial £35.8m with that sum potentially rising due to add-ons and bonuses.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano now claims that the paperwork has been signed by both parties and that Van de Beek will put pen to paper on a five-year contract in the coming hours.

The deal will keep the Netherlands international at Old Trafford until 2025, with Manchester United beating Barcelona and Real Madrid to his signature.

Van de Beek, who scored 10 goals and created 11 more in 37 appearances for Ajax across all competitions last season, will become United's first signing of the summer.
