The agent of Donny van de Beek admits he's frustrated at Manchester United.

The Dutchman made a £35m switch to Old Trafford in the summer, but has found opportunities hard to come by.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has only handed him two league starts and Van de Beek's future is already a subject of speculation.

Netherlands boss Frank de Boer admits the midfielder may have to move on, but understands from conversations with his agent that he's content with his treatment in Manchester.

“I spoke to Ajax and they said there's no truth in it at all. He didn't ask to speak to them," he told talkSPORT .

“He's just focusing on his recovery on his ankle, and it's not true that he asked Man Utd to leave.

“His agent also told me that of course he's not happy that he's not playing. He's only had two starts under Solskjaer and that's not what he hoped for when he joined Man Utd.

“He's not worried, of course he wants to play every game. But he's not worried that he can't succeed.

“He has to have a review after this year, asking where do I stand? Do I have a possibility to succeed here or not? Otherwise, I have to make a move.

“We will see where he's heading next year, maybe he stays at Man Utd or maybe another club is interesting for him.

“But he's not panicking at all, he told the manager he's so happy at Man Utd because the club is one of the best in terms of how they treat him, he feels loved."
