I think signing Kluivert wouldn't be based on how good he is now but on how good he can become.
I think he won't ever be good enough, especially if he wastes the next 4 years of his career sitting on the bench at Old Trafford.
 
We should only buy if we are going to loan him straight out. We have enough young attackers. Personally I think his agent is just try boost his public image.
 
I mean no disrespect to Justin Kluivert but his name has been carrying him.
He's a bright prospect but absolutely nowhere near the level required to even make United's bench.
There are plenty of better players of his age right now, he's in the spotlight because he's Patrick's son.
It's a very similar case to Weah's son who gets headlines and millions views on his youth highlights when he's not even the best U17 player at PSG.
 
What will get Sanchez out of United? I'm in favor of him leaving since United have been playing horrible since his arrival and he takes up Martial's position.
 
Ajax strongly takes into account that Justin Kluivert is leaving this summer. "We have been talking for ten months now, and we are also a bit done with it", said Edwin van der Sar, general manager at the Rondo program of Ziggo Sport.

Ajax would like to extend Kluivert's contract, which runs for another year, but the club has not yet reached agreement with the 19-year-old winger.

"He is difficult to keep", Van der Sar acknowledged. "His agent (Mino Raiola, ed.) Pushes him towards the exit, which is a shame, because it is not our intention that players aged eighteen or nineteen leave the club, that is not the philosophy of Ajax."

We are signing him, aren't we.
 
Not only do we have 0 need for him there’s at least a few players in that Ajax team who are better in talent/ability and in fitting our team.
 
You can never have enough left sided attackers.

What happens if Sanchez, Martial and Rashford are all out at the same time

anyone? anyone at all?
 
Sounds like it. Sucks that he is another player who is much better on the left than right.

I think he'll be loaned out in the first year.

He'll likely come on very cheap since he's in his last year of contract. What's the harm in signing a talent like this if he's available at a cut price?

Well it's fecking idiotic of the club to think long term.

Or something.

Apart from Martial, Rashford and Sanchez, we also have Chong, Greenwood etc. in the academy. Pointless bringing in another when we can't even give the current guys enough game time.

Chong plays mainly on the right.

Think he can play on either side, but regardless of that, I think we have enough young players for the attacking positions. Competition is good, but I feel too much will be detrimental to their development.

So can Kluivert, Martial and Rashford. Chong's main position is at right side. He is pretty much Robben like(playing style wise, not talking about potential/ability etc)

Why would we sign another young winger when we already have Rashford and Martial? We’d probably be even better off promoting his compatriot Chong if he’s being signed as a sixth choice winger.

It's more likely that he'll be sent on loan rather than playing in the first team. It's more of a case of doing a deal just because a good opportunity arises. It's all speculation though, he could go to other club.

Just edited my post. Assuming we sign him and don't sell any of our younger players, how much game time do you think he'd get here? Considering how little Mou rotates, I don't see him developing properly if he has to compete with either Sanchez, Martial and Rashford for the left wing or Lingard, Mata, Chong, and maybe Sanchez for the right wing. If he's happy with being loaned out for a season or two, then maybe, but then I don't see what the point in leaving Ajax would be.

The point in leaving Ajax would be obviously a better contract. He'd not be the first player from the lesser leagues to come and go straight on loan.
 
There wouldn't even be a thread on him if it weren't for the lip reading experts
 
David Neres must be kicking himself that he doesn't have a Fifa re-gen name like Justin, he's much better and all. This could have been him! If only his name was David Overmars or David Seedorf...:(
 
The OP literally contains a news article by Castles.

Indeed with the only indication of any interest in him being because he spoke to him after the Europa League Final, complete with picture and all
 
If Martial left us so I think Kluivert is more likely to be Sanchez's successor, loaning him for another season with Ajax or somewhere, perhaps 2nd season for him to rotate with Sanchez as Sanchez need a rest in the 30s. I hope we learnt from mistakes in 2013 when we haven't replaced ageing with a young player or has a replacement in place to take over a role.
