Emanuelson wants more match time

The agent of AC Milan’s Urby Emanuelson says the midfielder is unhappy with a lack of playing time, but wants to fight for a place in the team.

The Netherlands international has been struggling to get regular first team action in recent weeks, and is desperate for more opportunities in the second half of the season.

“Urby is not happy at the moment,” his agent, Brian Berkleef, told reporters.

“Every player is going to be unhappy when they do not play regularly, and so is Urby. His lack of playing time in recent weeks kind of surprises me. I don’t know the reason behind it.

“I don’t think that he will leave Milan, though. He is a calm guy and he will not give up just like that. He is not the type of player to start complaining and kick up a fuss.”

Emanuelson has made 20 appearances in all competitions for Milan this term.
