Donny van de Beek and Estelle Bergkamp expecting their first child

Manchester United midfielder Donny van de Beek has revealed that he and girlfriend Estelle Bergkamp are expecting their first child.

The Holland international, who made a rare appearance off the bench for the Red Devils in their Champions League 2-2 draw at Atalanta this week, announced the exciting news on Thursday morning.

Alongside a picture of the couple together holding onto an ultrasound scan picture, Van de Beek wrote: 'Happy to announce that we’re expecting a little one.'

Bergkamp, 25, is the daughter of Arsenal legend Dennis. The 52-year-old former striker, who scored 87 league goals in 315 Gunners matches, will become a grandad in the new year.

United team-mates Jesse Lingard, Alex Telles and Diogo Dalot were among those to congratulate the couple on their exciting news.

Compatriot Andy van der Meyde commented on the social media post, joking: 'Congratulations, what will his name be Ole Gunnar?' followed by a laughing crying face emoji and love heart.

Van de Beek is well out of favour under the United boss with the 24-year-old given limited chances to make an impact following his £40million move from Ajax in the summer of 2020.

A product of Ajax's famous academy, the midfielder made 175 appearances for the Dutch club, scoring 41 goals, but his career has stalled at Old Trafford.
