Dutch international midfielder Donny van de Beek has had a torrid time at Old Trafford since his £35 million move from Ajax.
The 24-year-old playmaker has struggled to hold down a regular starting berth under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and most of his appearances for Manchester United have come as a substitute.
The player’s agent has now revealed that he spoke to Everton regarding a summer transfer towards the end of the window but the Premier League giants blocked Van de Beek’s exit.
Van de Beek’s agent Guido Albers also confirmed that he received a call from Solskjaer who informed him that transfer is out of the question.
