'He cannot have another season like last year' - Van de Beek has been given 'clarity' on Man Utd future, says agent

 The Dutchman's main legal representative was happy to hear Ole Gunnar Solskjaer confirm over the weekend that the midfielder is in his plans

Donny van de Beek has been given "clarity" on his Manchester United future, according to his agent Guido Albers, who has insisted that "he cannot have another season like last year".

Much was expected of Van de Beek when he arrived at Old Trafford from Ajax for £35 million ($48m) in September 2020, but he has so far struggled to make an impact in a United shirt.

The Netherlands international has been starved of regular minutes amid strong competition for places in midfield, leading to plenty of speculation that he could move onto pastures new before the current transfer window closes.
