After struggling for minutes under former Ajax boss Erik ten Hag at Old Trafford last month, Van de Beek joined the Bundesliga club until the end of the season. However, he has had a rough start to life in Germany and now faces a new challenge after being omitted from the European team's roster. Van de Beek's first three appearances for Frankfurt were unsuccessful, and he was dismissed at halftime during the team's victory over Mainz last month. Clubs can only make three changes to their 25-man squads ahead of the knockout stages, as per UEFA rules, and Van de Beek was the man to miss out.

After Andre Onana's 'assault' on Max Kilman, Richard Keys rails condemns the team's inability to give Wolves a penalty against Man United, the team's first game of the season - claiming it was 'identical' to the one before

Richard Keys has screamed out at Man United's Andre Onana after he clattered into Max Kilman during their 4-3 victory over Wolves on Thursday, defiant. The television broadcaster characterized it as 'identical' to a contentious challenge that the goalkeeper faced on the ostensible day of the season. Man United defeated Wolves 1-0 at Old Trafford in August, but Onana had almost forfeited a penalty on his Premier League debut after he clattered into Sasa Kalajdzic as he climbed in the air to get a cross.

Since Gary O'Neil says the club can't afford their top priorities, Wolves were forced to rethink plans to sign at least one striker this month

www.dailymail.co.uk, January 25, 2024
Wolves have been asked to re-evaluate plans to sign a new striker because they are unable to pay their top targets, according to Gary O'Neil. Earlier in January, the Molineux boss was hopeful of signing at least one center-forward after allowing Sasa Kalajdzic and Fabio Silva to leave on loan, but O'Neil, a local rival of West Bromwich Albion, reported that the goalposts had been moved. We've been looking at a few options, but it seems that they won't be able financially, so it's back to other options,' O'Neil said.

Wolves' Patrick O'Neil wants to bring in at least one centre forward this month as the club looks to carry on their winning start at Brighton on Monday night. Wolves are short on attack, particularly with top scorer Hwang Hee-chan at the Asian Cup with South Korea, after allowing Sasa Kalajdzic and Fabio Silva to leave on loan. Matheus Cunha has been superb this season, scoring six goals, but is not a natural No. 9.

After a difficult start at Molineux, the Wolves loaned Sasa Kalajdzic to Eintracht Frankfurt for the remainder of the season, with a chance for the Bundesliga team to buy the striker in the summer

JONES OF SIMON JONES: Wolves have agreed to loan Sasa Kalajdzic from Eintracht Frankfurt, a 6ft 7ins striker.

The 6ft 7ins Austrian centre forward will be with Wolves for their FA Cup match against Brentford tonight to provide cover, but the centre forward will then fly to Germany to complete formalities with Frankfurt. The Bundesliga is still debating the possibility of buying Kalajdzic on a permanent basis at the end of the loan. Gary O'Neil, the Wolves' manager, admitted that he had to get players out before bringing them in this window, and that he'll most likely need another forward to increase his forward options. Kalajdzic joined Wolves from Stuttgart in August 2022 for £15 million, but he broke his anterior cruciate ligament on his debut against Southampton.

Sasa Kalajdzic, a Wolves striker, is attracting a lot of attention from Frankfurt, but the team is waiting to see if Gary O'Neil's side will allow the German striker to leave on loan

Sasa Kalajdzic, a striker on loan, is waiting for a decision by Wolves to see if striker Sasa Kalajdzic will leave on loan. In the summer of 2022, Kalajdzic joined the Premier League from Stuttgart for £15 million.

Gary O'Neil, a Wolves magician, will need more wins without star man Hwang Hee-chan, as he prepares for the striker's absence ahead of the Asian Cup

www.dailymail.co.uk, December 31, 2023
JOE BERNSTEIN AT MOLINEUX: At Molineux, they regard Gary O'Neil as a magician, and fans are waiting for his next trick - how to replace Hwang Hee-chan. As Wolves threw up their third straight victory, Hwang, who will play in the Asian Cup for South Korea, was mesmerizing. Despite the fact that he did not add to his 11 goals this season, the effervescent forward had a spectacular assist. His absence at one time would have been worrying, but O'Neil's confidence is bolstering the challenge, with Pedro Neto returning to action and Sasa Kalajdzic a different option up front.

Wasn't VAR supposed to STOP the refereeing nightmares? Arsenal's rage at Newcastle's winner is just the latest Premier League video controversies of the season; here's a rundown of the season's WORST VAR scandals

www.dailymail.co.uk, November 6, 2023
Another clash over VAR in the Premier League this weekend. At least one club is upset about the decision made by the video assistant referees who have gone against them right now, and it appears we won't get through a series of top-flight fixtures without at least one team getting mad about them. Arsenal had been left frustrated after Newcastle United's winning goal against them on Saturday night featured not one, not two, but three tense VAR calls.

MATT BARLOW: Pity the poor referees; every single player is out to deceive them; Wolves boss Gary O'Neil can be blamed for official's deception of events

www.dailymail.co.uk, November 5, 2023
MATT BARLOW: In a contact sport in the VAR age, contact was always going to be the most difficult decision for remote officials. How much contact is too much?And what feel can you possibly have for the beat of a physical contest from a windowless room near Heathrow poring over replays in super slow-motion? Gary O'Neil, the Wolves' manager, is to blame for being confused. It's an error, one nudge on George Baldock's leg. Andre Onana's one-running leap into Sasa Kalajdzic isn't the first, and it isn't.

Gary O'Neil has demonstrated the tactical neil, who saw his Wolverham Wanderers team defeat Bournemouth on Saturday, beating his old club Bournemouth. Wolves came from behind to beat the Cherries 2-1 at the Vitality Stadium, where O'Neil took revenge on the team that had fired him in June. Bournemouth chief Ed Miliband outlined in a video on Sky Sports' Monday Night Football that he explained how his team defeated the opposition with a demonstration of his tactics for the game. The 40-year-old explained what he had been working on during international service and how he developed a four versus three in his team's favorite when carrying the ball out of defense. 'These are things we worked on in preparation for.' O'Neil's first appearance before debating precisely his tactics during the game.

Bournemouth 1-2 Wolves: Gary O'Neil has left his team after losing to 10-man Cherries, leaving Andoni Iraola in need of his first victory

www.dailymail.co.uk, October 21, 2023
RYAN WALKER AT THE VITALITY STADIUM: Revenge is a dish best served late in Bournemouth, as Sasa Kalajdzic's 88th-minute strike gave Gary O'Neil's Wolves team a 2-1 victory at the Vitality Stadium. After leaving Kalajdzic off the bench to score the eventual winner and make sure the Wolves boss departed with three points, Bournemouth remained firmly in the relegation zone after four straight losses and without a single Premier League victory. After just 12 games in caretaker service, O'Neil was given the Cherries job for a life time last season. Andoni Iraola could have been fired as Bournemouth's boss after just nine games, including Lewis Cook, who will face a three-match suspension for headbutting South Korean forward Hwang Hee-Chan.

AHEAD OF THE GAME: PGMOL chief Howard Webb is set to break his silence on VAR drama, as Jurgen Klopp ups the pressure on referees

www.dailymail.co.uk, October 5, 2023
MATT HUGHES: As the second edition of Match Officials is released next week, referee Howard Webb will break his silence on the Tottenham vs. Liverpool VAR debacle. Last month, the show featured an analysis of six VAR cases, including Wolves' futile penalty appeal, which culminated in the collision between goalkeeper Andre Onana and striker Sasa Kalajdzic.

Andre Onana is already under pressure after David de Gea-esque calamities in his first six games, as Man United's conceded 14 goals in his first six games... so is the £47 million keeper really an upgrade?

www.dailymail.co.uk, September 21, 2023
The most troubling thing for Manchester United is the similarity in the mistakes that have been made. Andre Onana allowed Leroy Sane's somewhat squirmless shot to squirm past him, and it may have been David de Gea against Brentford or West Ham last season. United spent £47 million on Onana at Erik ten Hag's behest because they felt De Gea was making too many high-profile mistakes, which were outweighing his shot stopping abilities. Onana was also signed because his walking skills are much superior to those of De Gea, but no one is talking about it right now. The spotlight on Onana is already hot after losing 14 goals in his first six United appearances.

Howard Webb reveals how officials made blunder in not awarding Wolves a penalty at Old Trafford last month as referees' chief explains VAR decisions on new Premier League show

www.dailymail.co.uk, September 5, 2023
Referee Chief Howard Webb has explained why Wolves were not awarded a penalty in their loss at Manchester United due to a new rule allowing for greater clarity on the big decisions throughout the Premier League. Webb appeared on PGMOL's first Match Officials Mic'd Up show, joined by Michael Owen in the studio for the 26-minute show. Simon Hooper's decision not to discipline Man United goalkeeper Andre Onana for a reckless collision with Wolves' Sasa Kalajdzic was one of the most contentious decisions.

The Wolves' loss was yet another nail in Everton's coffin... a striker is ESSENTIAL for Sean Dyche's team in the transfer window, or the Toffees will face the Championship

www.dailymail.co.uk, August 27, 2023
JOE BERNSTEIN: Worse than rage, there was sadness at Goodison Park as Wolves replacement Sasa Kalajdzic hammered the 87th-minute nail into Everton's coffin. Many ardent Bluenoses who usually yell out, "It's a grand old squad to play for" has been ruled out entirely as a result of the dismissal and the team's futile attempts to seek a late equalizer. Sean Dyche's staff is inevitability at the moment, there is an inevitability. Play well, as they did on Saturday and then fail marginally. Or play poorly and get stuffed.

After a miserable first season in England, Wolves striker Sasa Kalajdzic looks forward to better times... as he dedicates his first goal since recovering from an ACL injury to his pregnant mother

After a nightmare first 12 months in England, Wolves scorer Sasa Kalajdzic can look forward to some better times. On his debut against Southampton last September, Kalajdzic fractured his ACL, and his heroic comeo at Goodison was his second outing since. The 6ft 7in Austrian celebrated his 87th-minute victory by stuffing the ball under his jacket in honor of his pregnant fiancée Lorena.

Sasa Kalajdzic, the most popular Wolves match-winner, may not have been more popular than the 6ft7ins striker who had been out for nearly a year due to an ACL injury. After his transfer from Stuttgart, the big Austrian was forced to leave Stuttgart shortly after and did not play between last September and entering Old Trafford as a replacement a fortnight ago.

Bruno Fernandes has requested an apology after Manchester United were refused a penalty for handball against Tottenham...as the tense Red Devils captain asks if the decision will be made in the same way as Wolves' at Old Trafford, he demands an APOLOGY

Howard Webb, the Premier League's chief, calls Wolves to admit that they should have been given a penalty after Man United goal Andre Onana clattered Sasa Kalajdzic

www.dailymail.co.uk, August 15, 2023
BY TOM COLLOMOSSE – Howard Webb contacted Wolves shortly after their humiliating loss at Manchester United to realize that the authorities were wrong in refusing to give them a stoppage-time penalty. United goalkeeper Andre Onana was clattered by his replacement Sasa Kalajdzic, but neither referee Simon Hooper nor VAR Michael Salisbury were able to give a spot kick. According to Wolves boss Gary O'Neil, he apologized after the game, and Mail Sport understands that referees' chief Webb had a note sent to a senior Wolves official who had noticed the mistake.

As he maintains the incident was 'just contact between two big guys', United goalkeeper Andre Onana says VAR was CORRECT not to give Wolves a penalty after his tumultuous late start in a 1-0 victory

www.dailymail.co.uk, August 15, 2023
Andre Onana, a goalkeeper for Manchester United, believes referee Simon Hooper and VAR were correct not to give Wolves a last-gasp penalty in Monday night's Premier League match against Old Trafford. United's unconvincing start as Raphael Varane's header 14 minutes from time was all that was needed to win a 1-0 victory that was barely deserved. In fact, Wolves seemed to have the opportunity to equalize from the penalty spot at the death when debutant Onana appeared to clatter into Sasa Kalajdzic, but the goalkeeper denied it.

Erik ten Hag defends Andre Onana's narrow victory over Wolves despite a bizarre challenge, but the goalkeeper maintains he was 'calm' and trusted that he had not forfeited a penalty

www.dailymail.co.uk, August 15, 2023
Despite his inexperience that nearly gave up a late penalty against Wolves, Man United manager Erik ten Hag has defended his goalkeeper Andre Onana. When trying to get a high ball into the box well into the second half stoppage time, Onana clattered into Sasa Kalajdzic. However, after a lengthy VAR report, referee Simon Hooper's on-field decision was made, and no penalty was given, despite the best protests of the visiting players and staff. Raphael Varane's header put the hosts up 1-0 at the time. Despite potentially jeopardizing Man United's victory due to his moment of hysteria, ten Hager was quick to defend his shot-stopper Onana during the normal post-match formalities.
