Van de Beek has signed a five-year contract, with an option to extend for a further year, believed to be worth around £107,000-a-week before bonuses.
The Dutchman becomes Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s first signing of this summer and could line up alongside Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes.
After completing his move, Van de Beek said: “I am now ready to take the next step in my career and perform at the highest level and there is no higher standard than Manchester United.
“This team has some of the best midfielders in the world and I know that I can learn from them and also bring my own strengths to the group.”
Manchester United legend, Rio Ferdinand, has lauded the potential of the club’s new signing, Donny van de Beek.
Ferdinand believes Van de Beek is a top player that will bring goals and assists for Man United.
Van de Beek, 23, became Man United manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s first summer signing on Wednesday, with the Red Devils agreeing on a £40million transfer deal with Ajax.
The Netherlands international, who scored 41 goals in 175 appearances for Ajax, signed a five-year deal at Old Trafford.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Ferdinand said: “Donny van de Beek! Manchester United, the red shirt. What does he bring to this team?
“He brings goals, assists. He runs into the box, a good work ethic and an unbelievable brain.
“An Ajax guy, he knows how to play good football.
“Edwin van de Sar, my old mate, put a crying emoji on Twitter. He’s not happy! He knows his quality, and he knows his class.
“Imagine Donny alongside the likes of Bruno Fernandes. I’ve got a little stat here; in the last three seasons if you put him up against any of the midfielders in the Premier League in terms of goal involvements, where do you think he ranks? At a guess I said seventh. He is second only to Kevin de Bruyne.
