West Brom won't block Man Utd, Barcelona move for Zuiverloon

West Brom boss Tony Mowbray says he wouldn't block fullback Gianni Zuiverloon from leaving for Manchester United.

"The boy's personality and temperament is such that I built up a respectful rapport with his family and, for that reason, I don't anticipate him moving this season and hopefully not next," Mowbray told the Sunday Mercury.

"Somewhere down the line, I hope Manchester United or Barcelona do offer the club the right sort of deal for Gianni and if they did, I wouldn't stand in his way.

"I have no right to deny a player the chance of representing one of the biggest clubs in the world but it has to be the right business for our club and it is not something I am anticipating this season or next season because of the rapport we have with him and his family. He is here to help us and hopefully he understands we are giving him the platform to make his talent flourish."
