A Dutch CM from Ajax 
I have no doubts about this signing. He will be great for us like Bruno.

We would be all over him if his heart wasn't so set on the scousers and there is nothing we can do about that
Very good deal if true.
If you believe that this isn't a most needed transfer, then surely you should expect more signings?
This seems legit! Sweet as fk!
on to the next one

Great news
Verwiej has confirmed. Its done
But, but it’s only page 57?
Do you really believe this is our only signing? I think it was between DVB and Grealish.Sadly for Grealish he priced himself out the move.
Henderson
VdB
Sancho
And a CB
Will really be great additions to our squad next season.

Sack Ole, he's Anti English
Excellent. That's a pretty great fee. What's that 37 million pounds or so?
Oh the 45m figure includes add ons. What a deal if true
Ajax are always a nice club to deal with unlike a certain other loquacious club and their executives in Westphalia eh??
Is it because of VDS? Daley Blind's transfer also happened without a fuss.
Welcome VDB! Nice!

Wow! Here we go!!!
There we go!
£40m. Will most likely be something like £35m plus add-ons. Bargain.
By morning, it will be 45m pounds plus bonuses in the British press.
Almost as quick as Sancho
Id argue against the last line. Bayern get away with it because they play a high line and have Muller working back with Thiago and the midfield working incredibley hard. The ball playing, deep laying midfielder are being fazed out of modern football because they encourage the high press from oppostion midfields.
Nobody really keeps the ball and plays through the middle anymore. Even Pep sacrificed this a little bit with Rodri and Gundogan in there.
Even PSG turned a corner in CL with 2 hard working ball winners in midfield with Verrati injured.
Dear Dortmund. This is how you should do business.
We need squad depth if we want to compete in 50+ games in all competitions. Part of that is having many good players for the same position, and midfield is especially key.
You do know that both Lingard and Pereira each played 40 times for us last season?
I just don't want to imagine that
Donny van de Beek to Manchester United. Contract for five years. Ajax will receive approximately 40 million euros, possibly increasing with bonuses. More details in a minute http://VI.nl#AjaxTweet

Price has gone up!! 
What's the fee? The reliable dutch outlet said 45m EUR no? Where is the 40m EUR coming from?
Nice, a new midfield don.
Don't worry, considering he is coming to United, soon English press will write £45m + add ons, and £348927 wages per week.
Update the thread title! 
Club agreement not mentioned but still this seems done.
Yesss. Love this. Great physique that will suit the premier league. Love his pressing ability and creativity with and without the ball. He's a machine and shows up in big games. For the price I prefer him over Grealish. Now for a right sided winger.
Ajax are always very fair when doing business. Classy club.
Where are the modmins? Thread title needs updating

I think if anyone Fred is the most at threat with this. McTominay is newly signed up and I think the club are preparing for him to be the long term Matic replacement. It would explain why we are not seemingly looking for a purely defensive player.
Fred now looks like he could hold some value on the market compared to a season ago where he looked like a gigantic flop. If we could recoup a large percentage of the VDB fee it would be good business for us, as much as I like Fred.
Its difficult to know what the sweet spot is in terms of numbers. You can never have too many quality midfielders, but its hard to see us being able to give enough football to keep 6 of them happy and, more crucially, in good match form.
Love Ajax. They seem to sell players fast especially players that have been good to them.
