Van de Beek's agent Guido Albers: 'Solskjær told him that they | Manchester United Empire

Van de Beek's agent Guido Albers: "Solskjær told him that they would play in another system [last season]. In the first five games it already went wrong, and at the end of the season we had to come to the conclusion that he barely played."

Van de Beek's agent Guido Albers: "Cristiano arrived on Friday which we knew was bad news for us. Pogba plays on the left, and with Cristiano’s arrival it means another extra player in midfield, with Pogba moving away from the left."

Van de Beek's agent Guido Albers: "We had conversations with Solskjær and the board. We took the initiative to find a club and our search ended up at Everton. We opened talks with Marcel Brands and Farhad Moshiri."

Van de Beek's agent Guido Albers: "On Monday night [before deadline day] we received a call from Solskjær and the club who told us that a transfer was out of question and that he had to report himself to training the next morning."

Van de Beek's agent Guido Albers: "The perspective now is that we stated that Donny is not a Carabao cup player, or FA Cup player, or to play only in European games. Donny went to England to play in the Premier League."

Van de Beek's agent Guido Albers: "The way the conversation went this time [with Solskjær] compared to last summer... things are much more clear now. I have full expectations that Donny will get his chance now."

Van de Beek's agent Guido Albers: "Donny worked extremely hard in the summer. He only had seven days off. The rest of the summer he trained to become top fit. He is totally ready."

Van de Beek's agent Guido Albers: "Now he has to receive his chance and should he not get his chance… we will sit at the table about the next step, this is clear now."
