Donny van de Beek may have to warm the Manchester United bench a while longer, as a bitter dispute with his former agent reportedly traps him at Old Trafford.
The £35.7million signing has yet to start a Premier League game this season under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Michael Carrick or Ralf Rangnick. The Dutchman is ready to abandon ship, but a new setback has hit.
Everton moved to sign the midfielder on loan last summer but were unsuccessful, and Van de Beek separated from his agent Guido Albers in October, furious after a season of misery at United.
