Ligue 1 side FC Lorient reportedly opted against signing Manchester United midfielder Donny van de Beek on deadline day because they ‘didn’t appreciate his behaviour’ towards them.<\/p>\n
Van de Beek remained a Manchester United player despite being heavily linked with a move away this summer.<\/p>\n
The arrivals of Mason Mount and Sofyan Amrabat have seen Van de Beek pushed even further down the pecking order at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n
It has now been reported by L’Equipe\u00a0that FC Lorient decided against making a move for Van de Beek on deadline day.<\/p>\n
The report states that they didn’t appreciate his attitude towards them earlier in the summer when offered the chance to sign him on deadline day.<\/p>\n

FC Lorient reportedly opted against signing Donny van de Beek on deadline day this summer<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The midfielder pulled a U-turn and was keen to go to Lorient despite previously having no interest<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
However, the Ligue 1 side did not appreciate his change of mind and chose not to sign him<\/p>\n
In mid-August it is believed that the player refused to speak with Lorient despite the French side already agreeing a deal with Manchester United over a loan move.<\/p>\n
However, after Van de Beek failed to attract interest, he became open to the move.<\/p>\n
His representatitves contacted Lorient at 10pm on deadline day to inform the club that the player was open to a discussion.<\/p>\n
Despite his U-turn, the Ligue 1 side ‘did not appreciate this’ and decided not to pursue a late deal for the midfielder.<\/p>\n
Therefore, Van de Beek remains at Manchester United.<\/p>\n
It’s unclear as to what the future holds for the Dutch midfielder, who will find game time limited this season due to the number of options at Erik ten Hag’s disposal.<\/p>\n
The Saudi Pro League transfer window remains open until September 20, but Van de Beek has not yet been linked with a move to the Middle East.\u00a0<\/p>\n
