Manchester United star Donny van de Beek's agent believes that Cristiano Ronaldo signing for the club is not good news for his client.
Van de Beek has struggled at United over the past year, failing to secure a regular starting spot.
His agent, Guido Albers, was hoping to secure van de Beek a loan move away from United in the summer.
Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer blocked any transfer, but Albers is worried about how much game time van de Beek can manage with Ronaldo back at United.
Albers told Ziggo Sport: "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.
"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.
"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.
"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.
"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.
"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."
