marginal player (i.e. player who is not competitive)
Van der Beck (name)
The 26-year-old Dutch midfielder has suffered a serious setback in his career since joining the Red Devils. The 26-year-old Dutch midfielder has suffered a serious setback in his career since joining the Red Devils and has failed to recapture his former form even under the guidance of his mentor, Ten Hahn.
Van der Beck's time at United has been a rocky one, with his performances falling far short of expectations. In the second half of last season, he was loaned out to Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga, but again failed to show the level of play he deserved and eventually failed to secure a buyout. Now, he seems to have found a new outlet - Girona.
Girona are said to have a strong interest in Van der Beck and they are willing to give the once talented midfielder a fresh start. The transfer fee is expected to be very reasonable, totaling no more than €10 million including the floating clause. This would be a good deal for Girona and also provide Van der Beck with a stage to prove himself again.
However, Girona are well aware that it may take a while for van der Beck to return to his best form. In the past few seasons, van der Beck's form has been seriously affected by the lack of stable playing opportunities and frequent injuries. Girona hopes to help van der Beck gradually regain his former glory through systematic training and reasonable game arrangements.
For Van der Beck, joining Girona is not only a new challenge but also an important turning point. He will have the opportunity to prove himself again in the highly competitive league of La Liga and pave the way for his future career. For Girona, the addition of Van der Beck is expected to strengthen the team's midfield and add strength to their journey in the new season.
