The player is now reportedly waiting to see if Barcelona will make a bid for him before he decides his future.

According to Sky Sport News, Van de Beek is Keen on moving to Premier League, and the Netherland international is strongly on Manchester United radar ahead of a new campaign. It remains to be seen if Manchester United could convince the player to join them before the transfer window shuts.
