Man Utd attacker's Old Trafford career to be cut short over questions about attitude

Nick Powell is set to leave Manchester United after three years at the club

MANCHESTER UNITED attacking midfielder Nick Powell is close to leaving the club amid concerns about his attitude, according to reports.

 

he Sunday people claim Powell has become disillusioned with football after being frozen out at Old Trafford.

And the former England Under-21 star is now determined to run down his contract, while his attitude has come in for criticism as well as his commitment to training.

His loan spell with Leicester 10 months ago was cut short because of question marks over his temperament and it is claimed he has shown little improvement since returning from the King Power stadium.

The 22-year-old was signed from Crewe Alexandra for £4million in 2012.

Much was expected of the young attacker but he has made just two Premier League appearances for United, scoring one goal.

 

Powell's attitude was called into question and a loan spell with Leicester was cut short last year

He had a productive loan at Wigan in the 2013-2014 season but the same can not be said for his time at Leicester.

However, he appeared tho be thrown a lifeline by Red Devils manager Louis van Gaal earlier this season.

To the surprise of most of the Old Trafford faithful, Powell was named in United's 25-man Champions League squad but hasn't made the squad for their first two group games.
