Donny van de Beek 'wanted to leave Manchester United after Paul Pogba was late for training and still played ahead of him', claims the Dutchman's former agent

Donny van de Beek looked for a transfer away from Manchester United after Paul Pogba continued to play ahead of him, claims his former agent.

The Dutch midfielder moved to Old Trafford from Ajax in summer 2020 in a deal which could reach £40million, but has never cemented a first-team spot and looks on the fringes of the side.

And his representative Guido Albers told Voetbal Primeur that Van de Beek became frustrated after Pogba - now at Juventus - turned up late to training but remained ahead of his client in the pecking order.
