Neville questions Van de Beek signing

Gary Neville has questioned Manchester United's decision to sign Donny van de Beek with the midfielder struggling for minutes since his move from Ajax.

"What is a little bit of a mystery is the use of Van de Beek since he’s been signed for £40 million," Neville said on Sky Sports via Metro.

"And the more he doesn’t start, and the more he doesn’t come on, the more you’re thinking, 'Well £40m player, ordinarily you’d get him in the team'."

Potter dismisses White transfer talk

Brighton manager Graham Potter has looked to silence ongoing transfer speculation surrounding defender Ben White.

The 23-year-old recently re-signed with Brighton but continues to be linked with interest from Liverpool and Leeds.

"All sorts of talk about him doing this, him doing that, and it is generated by outside, by outside of our control really," Potter said on Saturday.

"It is part of the football noise. The transfer window closed last week and we are already having conversations around transfer speculation. It’s just the way it is.

"I know he is level-headed enough to not let it affect him. I think at this level you have to know it is part of the territory. He has come into training, tried to be professional, tried his best, and tried to play football. I have no concerns about Ben."
