Manchester United outcast Donny van de Beek has welcomed the birth of his first child with Dennis Bergkamp's daughter, Estelle.

Van de Beek has been dating Estelle since they met in Amsterdam in the summer of 2019 and confirmed the couple were expecting in a social media post last year. The couple have now welcomed the birth of Lomee van de Beek, who was born on Saturday, with Van de Beek posting two pictures of himself, Estelle and their baby to his Instagram account.

He captioned the post: “Welcome to the world Lomee van de Beek - 09/04/2022. Proud of you @estellebergkamp.”

The midfielder, who is currently on loan at Everton, received a host of congratulatory messages from fellow players in the comments, including from United team-mate Jadon Sancho.

Sancho wrote: "Congratulations bro", whilst Bergkamp's former Arsenal team-mate Ian Wright left several love heart emojis underneath the post.

Van de Beek met Estelle while he was still playing for Ajax, the club where her dad has enjoyed successful spells as both a player and a coach in the past.

Bergkamp has previously looked to help Van de Beek secure a move away from United earlier in the season after triggering talks with Crystal Palace over a loan move.

However, the Netherlands international joined Everton on loan until the end of the season instead and has made six appearances for the Toffees so far.

This comes after he played just 64 minutes of Premier League football and started a total of four matches across all competitions for United during the first half of the season.

Although he would likely have been granted leave for the birth of his child anyway, Van de Beek was absent from Everton's win over United on Saturday as he was ineligible to face his parent club.

The 24-year-old will be available for the Toffees' home match against Leicester City on Wednesday having also recently returned from a thigh injury.
