Frank Lampard is said to have ‘personally phoned’ loan signing Donny van de Beek to convince him to choose Everton over Crystal Palace as his Old Trafford escape route.
Lamps has just taken over in the Goodison Park hotseat and will start his tenure with Man United’s out-of-favour midfielder in his squad for the rest of the season.
Van De Beek was wanted at Selhurst Park before deciding to make the switch to Merseyside instead.
And reports in the player’s native Netherlands suggest Lampard’s personal involvement in the deal is what clinched it for him.
The new Toffees boss is said to have called Van De Beek directly to tell him of his plans, which were enough to convince him to make the move down the M62.
