Everton were thwarted in a late attempt to sign Donny van de Beek on loan from Manchester United after they were told the Holland international remains part of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's plans. Donny van de Beek's agent has criticised Manchester United for blocking a move this summerA move to Everton would have provided an escape for him but the informal enquiry was knocked back. I won't say but everybody who knows Donny knows he loves the game and he wants to be on the pitch every week. United view it as a continuing trend of more consistent recruitment over recent seasons which reflects the ongoing strengthening of that department. Now all that remains is for United to start claiming the trophies that reflect their investment.
