"to never use" or "never to use" ?

Hello,

I just came across this sentence: "the manager plans never to use the young midfielder" ... Shouldn't it be "plans to never use"? I am confused. What is correct? Is there a rule for when you can/have to split the infinitive? 

Thanks for your help.

There's certainly no rule requiring you to split it. There are those who feel it should not be split by the negative, but I don't believe they're in the majority.
