Liverpool have denied accusations of "mentally bullying and destroying" Bobby Duncan by the 18-year-old striker's agent, Saif Rubie.
The European champions released a statement in response to criticism from Rubie, per Sky Sports News:
"Liverpool Football Club is aware of and disappointed by the unattributed comments and unfounded allegations that have been made in the media regarding one of our players. As the interests of the player in question are not best served by either inaccurate speculation, inflammatory statements or public discourse, we will be making no further comment."
Liverpool's statement comes after Rubie criticised Liverpool sporting director Michael Edwards and the Reds for keeping the unhappy youngster at the club against his will:
