Neil Lennon believes that a switch to Celtic could help Manchester United midfielder Donny van de Beek to kick-start his career.
Van de Beek joined United from Ajax in 2020 but has endured much frustration owing to a lack of regular starts and injuries.
Celtic have been linked with a move for van de Beek amid suggestions that United are prepared to let the Dutchman depart.
Lennon, who played for Celtic and had two spells as manager of the club, feels that van de Beek would be an impressive signing but stressed that if a deal did take place then it would probably have to be a loan move.
Speaking on The Go Radio Football Show, when asked if joining Celtic would be a good move for van de Beek, Lennon said: 'Possibly - his career has sort of stalled a bit. He was outstanding for Ajax the season they got to the semi-finals of the Champions League in that really good young Ajax team.
'He went to United and it didn't work out and he went on loan to Everton and that didn't work out either. So he needs a kickstart and maybe Celtic is that place for him.
'He's certainly shown he's got the pedigree and you never lose it, you just sometimes lose your confidence or your hunger and lose your way a little bit. Players of that calibre just need a restart and maybe he's thinking Celtic might be that place to go but I mean, there's a lot of work to be done in a deal involving that.
'He'll be on huge money, let's not beat around the bush here. Realistically, if you're talking about (Scott) Mc Tominay, (Kieran) Tierney or van de Beek, it'll probably be a loan and Celtic making a contribution towards the wages.'
Van de Beek has made just 60 appearances for United in total and has scored two goals. He had a loan spell at Everton in the second half of the 2021-22 campaign and had problems with a knee injury last season.
The 26-year-old has two years remaining on his contract at Old Trafford and there is also an option for a further year, but it wouldn't be a huge surprise if he was to leave this summer.
However, as Lennon alludes to, van de Beek's wages could make it difficult for a permanent move to occur, so a loan may well be the best option.
Van de Beek is one of a host of high-profile players who could leave United this summer, with forward Anthony Martial and defender Harry Maguire also potential candidates to depart.
Last month it was suggested that van de Beek is considering a move away from United.

VDB reminds me of Memphis Depay at United...he tried but it never worked...I think Donni Should look somewhere else to restart his Carrie...Injuries and lack of game time made him lose confidence..it is really wanting...it will be good for both parties if he leaves...Above all VDB is a good player,he who watched Ajax knock out Juventus in Quarters of UCL with CR7 inthe squad..Can testfy..Donni was so Impressive during that match..

You are the most biased person on earth. Anthony scored 12 goals for Ajax in 2021/22 and 10 goals for Man U in 22/23. Now let’s come to your mighty spurs.. Richarlison a 60m£ striker scored just one single premier league in almost 30 appearances. Ndomble , signed for 50m€ is a became a generational flop, shipped on loan and was still a bench warmer, yves Bissouma, 35M£ is also a forgotten man after Just one season, Carlson Vinicius now thriving season Fulham was a 30m£ sinning for totennham, do I go on? Gedson Fernandez , dele alli, matt Doherty?? Well, keep basking in the euphoria of Your trophyless cabinet

That is the truth but you won’t admit to it .... if you look at those players stats before they joined United ..it is the truth .... so sad Even if spurs don’t win a trophy... my players can’t flop to such extent.... they will still show the little quality they have ..: only Richarlison was bad last season and I know he is going to pitch back his form next season

Harry Kane Anyone❓‼️[Crylaugh] Won NOTHING For Staying With Spurs For All These Years
What you guys don’t understand is a player performance is different from a team’s performance... Harry Kane has been outstanding for spurs for past 7 seasons averaging 25+goals every season... if spurs doesn’t win a trophy then he can’t be blamed because it is not his fault... he always delivers and never loses form.... surely if he was at a team like Real Madrid, City or Bayern... he will win trophies even without playing any matches... an exceptional player is different from lucky 🍀 players who will trophies even without contributing All these little boys like you just watching football a year ago won’t understand that

What are you talking about? United haven't been a "big team" for quite some time. They have a pedigree, and a name, from their past, but certainly now from their present time. Fernandes, Casemiro, Varane and Martinez are still playing well below their true capabilities. So what OP said, does hold some merit, realistically speaking.
Well everyone knows that the old United was gone but a new & promising Era is starting if things goes well and smoothly.. and with all that at least United won trophies what those spurs win ? Secondly u lied about we destroying players career most of this players come bc of money but not dying to play for the team .. just like Sanchez, he chooses United over city bc of money and maguire goes to United bc of money and hype but he is not up to the level we need the same as Van de beek he can’t cope in pressure..

So how about Martinez, Bruno , Ganancho , And u bloody lie about Antony his seasons wasn’t a bad one for a start. Sancho and van de beek can’t handle the pressure of playing for a big team . Maguire is bang average but I won’t blame you bc u are spurs fans and secondly ur team will never reaches United level ..
