'Van de Beek's agent should shut his mouth' - Evra takes aim after midfielder's agent criticises Manchester United

Patrice Evra says Donny van de Beek's agent should "shut his mouth" after the Dutch star's representative slammed Manchester United's use of his client thus far.

Van de Beek signed with Manchester United this summer, joining from Ajax in a deal worth £35 million (€39m/$46m). However, the Dutchman has been used primarily as a substitute to start the season, starting in the Carabao Cup against Luton Town and Brighton while coming off the bench in the club's first two matches of the Premier League season.

In response to the gradual introduction of his client, agent Sjaak Swart slammed the club, saying Van de Beek's substitute role was unacceptable while adding that United "should have lost 1-7" to Brighton following last weekend's 3-2 triumph in the Premier League.
