Van de Beek, 25, picked up a serious injury after enduring a terrible collision with Bournemouth defender Marcos Senesi during the Red Devils’ 3-0 win on Tuesday (January 3). He appeared to be writhing in pain and was reduced to tears while walking off the pitch.

Manchester United edge ahead in race to snap up Bundesliga forward: Reports
According to La Republicca, Manchester United are in pole position to seal a move for Borussia Monchengladbach star Marcus Thuram in January. Red Devils boss Erik ten Hag is a big admirer of the Frenchman, who himself is keen to secure a transfer to the Premier League.
However, Manchester United are unwilling to dish out a fee of around £13 million for Thuram’s signature, considering the Sochaux youth product has six months left on his current contract. Both Bayern Munich and Inter Milan are also keeping tabs on the right-footed forward.
Thuram, 25, has been a crucial first-team starter for Die Fohlen since arriving from Guingamp for a fee of £10 million in the summer of 2019. Operating primarily as a center-forward or as a left inside-forward, he has registered 41 goals and 26 assists in 119 matches for his club.
