Should be a bond between both clubs loans etc. Phenomenal club Ajax absolute conveyor belt of talent

Too much. V v scouse.

Looks like Ajax are ready to be our bitches for the forseeable

Can’t think of a better feeder club tbh.

£#%&!ing hell... This place...

We've finally bought, with minimal fuss, what appears to be a good, promising midfielder who will strengthen us and hopefully turn out to be a real player and people are whining about his squad number and the fact Edwin sent us a nice, respectful letter

I cannot begin to explain how incredible an opportunity it is to join a club with such an amazing history. I would like to thank everyone at Ajax. I grew up there and I will always have a special bond with the club. I am now ready to take the next step in my career and perform at the highest level and there is no higher standard than Manchester United.

Everyone has told me how amazing the Old Trafford atmosphere is and I am looking forward to experiencing that, once it is safe for the fans to return. This team has some of the best midfielders in the world and I know that I can learn from them and also bring my own strengths to the group. Having spoken to the manager about his vision for this team, the direction that the club is going in is hugely exciting and I cannot wait to be a part of that.

The transfer seemingly came out of nowhere, with the press not linking us to the player until the past week, but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has clearly had his eye on the 23-year-old for a while.

Donny has all of the technical attributes needed to perform in this team and has the personality required to succeed at Manchester United. His ability to see space, time his movements and read the game will really complement the qualities that we have in midfield and his arrival really strengthens the depth of talent we have in that position. Donny’s performances in the Eredivisie and in Europe have been excellent over the last few years and we are all looking forward to working with him.

he's in for a bit of disappointment

“When I look into his eyes, which I have done since he was a little boy, I see eyes filled with dreams. Dreams of football. Dreams of what could be. To fulfill those dreams, we all need to find a place, a venue, a home where we can reach for them. Manchester United don’t just have a place or a venue, they have an actual theatre. A theatre of dreams.”
