According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the deal includes a buy option of €11 million (R222 million), plus €4 million (R80 million) in add-ons, although making the player's deal permanent is not mandatory for the German club.
Having joined United from Ajax Amsterdam in 2020 for a sizeable fee of €39 million (R788 million), things have gone quite miserably for the player since as he never played more than 19 Premier League games in a season.
His time at Old Trafford is characterised by recurring injuries, and this seems to have led to Erik ten Hag losing confidence in him, with the 26-year-old having made just two appearances for United so far in this campaign.
