Donny van de Beek's Manchester United team-mates advised him to change agent in a bid to force a move out of Old Trafford, Sportsmail understands.
The £35million outcast has told representative Guido Albers that he no longer requires his services after a frank exchange last weekend.
Van de Beek had hoped that Albers would have secured him a transfer away from the club by now and, after conversations with others in the dressing-room, sources say the Dutch international was persuaded to hire a new agent.
The 24-year-old has now signed up with Ali Dursun, who looks after United defender Victor Lindelof, as well as Holland and Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong.
Van de Beek is desperate to leave after making just four Premier League starts under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer since arriving from Ajax in the summer of 2020.
Sportsmail understands conversations with Everton and Wolves had taken place in recent weeks with a view to a January loan move, although Dursun may now have different ideas.

Its Ole that should go. The squad is good enough. It is the manager that is not.

Donny should stay because Antonio Conte wil make another Barella in him. No worries my boy, the clueless mothafaka wil be gone soon

Biggest mistake OLE has done in his active days at united. 1. Selling Lukaku without a replacement. 2. Making Maguire the captain after 2 months of joining the team. 3. Loosing 6-1 to Tottenham. 4. Bought Van De Beek and made him a bench warmer. 5. Letting Herrera go without replacement. 6. Bought Sancho made him look average (bench warmer). 7. Benching a natural top 9 (Cavani) in favour of kids. 8.playing his junior brother week in and out Fred, even when he performs low. 9. Making useless formation and subtitude. 10. Sitting on the chair without making positive remarks on the pitch of play by giving instructions. 11. Loose to smaller team easily. 12. Making Ronaldo average For those few remarks, Solskjaer is the problem😋 #OLEOUT
