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

Ex-Holland star Andy van der Meyde jumped in to suggest ‘Ole Gunnar’ as the baby’s name
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 big news.
However, compatriot and former Holland and Everton winger Andy van der Meyde commented on the social media post, joking: ‘Congratulations, will the 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.
Van de Beek is not the only United man expecting a new arrival in 2022, with Cristiano Ronaldo and girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez expecting twins.
The Portugal star, 36, shared the news with fans on Instagram last Thursday, and gushed their ‘hearts are full of love.’
