Donny is gonny
Listen, pun headlines are difficult.

Manchester United midfielder Donny Van de Beek has reportedly completed a loan move to Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt.
The deal will see the Dutch attacking midfielder move on loan for six months, with the Germans given an optional €15m price tag to meet - plus addons, presumably performance related.
Van de Beek's last loan move to Everton started brightly but faded harshly following injury, and perhaps escaping the Premier League is the best thing for him. Frankfurt are in solid form in the German Bundesliga too, sat in seventh.
His arrival to United was strange given it was so sudden. VDB's form at Ajax was solid, but he was heavily expected to move to Real Madrid. In contrast, United were seemingly all set on then-Aston Villa star Jack Grealish. How different the world could have Van de Been...
We wish Donny all the best with his move and hopefully it can restart his career that has, like many in this current United banter era, stalled.

Crisis Mounts
We'll pretend this pun wasn't forced, and distract you with the news that Mason Mount is ruled out of first team action for 4-6 weeks with a hamstring injury.
According to the Telegraph (whom I won't link because the sporting coverage is fine but their news is not), Mount's substitution late on against Tottenham in the 2-0 defeat was due to picking up said injury.
The knock-on effect here is who steps in to replace him. Christian Eriksen seems obvious, but for all his genius - ala Juan Mata - he offers very little in tracking back, movement, pace, or physical presence. Scott McTominay on the other hand offers all that but no genius, but with Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes alongside... do we need brains?
McTominay hasn't seen Premier League game time yet; a move thought to be protection ahead of the transfer deadline and a late move away from Old Trafford. This still might happen though, because reports now state Fiorentina are willing to take £21 million for Sofian Amrabat who would be more than ideal for United right now.
As we speak Brandon Williams has gone out on loan to Ipswich Town to reunite with Kieran McKenna. Ideally we'll also see Donny van de Beek and Scott McTominay depart in the next few days too, and probably Facundo Pellistri on loan to Sheffield United, but it's entering Squeaky Bum time now - and not of the "Fergie might win the Treble or might win nothing" variety. United have in my opinion bought well this summer, but there's still just that little extra needed for squad depth, rotation, and versatility needed to get us into form. Amrabat offers that to us, in a way nobody we have currently does. Splash the cash, lower our asking on McSauce and Donny, and call it a day.
