After making the move to United from Ajax in 2020, he eventually found himself at Girona during the summer transfer window.
"I try to enjoy myself again and I do that," Van de Beek told ESPN.
"It (Girona) is a beautiful club with good football, and I think I can help with that and I am working hard on that. It is clear that nothing has come of it for either party.
"That is in the past, but not a single bad word about that club. Of course I didn’t play a lot, but I did learn a lot. With good players around me and good people within the club. I will take those things with me into the future.
