  • Beleaguered Manchester United star Donny Van de Beek tried to leave the club after he was constantly overlooked in the team selection
  • Van de Beek's Premier League career has failed to take off with other players often preferred instead of him
  • His former agent has claimed that Paul Pogba used to arrive late to training but was still in the starting eleven

A former agent of Manchester United's midfielder Donny Van de Beek has blamed the club for the misfortunes that have befallen the player.

Van de Beek joined Manchester United in 2020 from Ajax with the hope of quickly establishing himself as one of the key players under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

However, things did not go according to plan with Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes often preferred ahead of him.

His former agent has now accused the club of sidelining the Dutch international and giving preferential treatment to Pogba. Goal reports that Guido Albers says that Van de Beek sought to leave the club after regular playing time became hard to come by.

Albers has also revealed that Van de Beek was left disappointed after Pogba came to training late, but he still started ahead of his then-client.

The 25-year-old moved to Everton on loan, but a knee injury prevented him from nailing a place in Frank Lampard's team.

His situation at Old Trafford is yet to improve despite his former coach Erik ten Hag taking over as the boss. Ten Hag replaced Pogba, who left for Juventus, with Christian Eriksen.

Sports Brief had earlier reported that Juventus superstar Paul Pogba is currently at loggerheads with his older brother Mathias, who is on a mission to expose him.

While the controversy surrounding the two brothers makes for great entertainment for the neutrals, it is quite a sad twist in the tale of the Pogba brothers.

This is especially because Mathias and Paul were once very close as siblings, with the former even getting the honour of lifting the World Cup trophy in 2018, which his brother helped the France national team to win.
