Donny van de Beek has been advised to look for a route out of Manchester United by Dimitar Berbatov.
The Dutch midfielder is yet to play a minute of Premier League football this season and made only four starts in the top flight last season following a £35million move from Ajax.
The Dutchman's continued absence from the team despite having barely any injury problems has long baffled United fans and Berbatov also admitted he was confused over how he has played so little for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side.
And he does not see the situation improving for the 24-year-old, who could lose his place in the Dutch national side unless he starts playing regular football, with the next World Cup little more than a year away.
