The agent of Manchester United goalkeeper Sam Johnstone has accused manager Louis van Gaal of stifling young English talent by blocking a loan move to a Championship side for his client.
As reported by the Daily Mail's Sam Cunningham, the 22-year-old requested a loan move in order to find regular playing minutes, but despite the presence of David De Gea, Sergio Romero and Victor Valdes, the request was denied. That has left his agent, Jordan Segal of Impact Sports, furious:
Sam just wants to play football but Manchester United are holding him back and not even playing him.
