Reason Justin Kluivert rejected Manchester United summer transfer move revealed

Justin Kluivert made the right move in turning down Manchester United to move to Roma, insists the winger’s father Patrick. The teenager was long thought to be a target for Jose Mourinho, but he joined Roma this summer instead and made his Serie A debut in their 1-0 win at Torino on Sunday. "I'm very satisfied with what he is doing," he told La Gazzetta dello Sport . "He doesn't speak much, but he is someone who knows how to listen and is motivated, I would have liked to stay in Ajax for another year, but he chose for himself. I think Roma is a good solution. "A jump to the Premier League would have been difficult... I think United would have been too big a jump. Roma is an important club, but the pressures are lower." "Roma must not win by force and it is a club that is used to good football. It is the ideal place for Justin right now. Then, who doesn't dream of Barcelona? But Italian football is catching up and Justin can take advantage of it." The Dutch made 56 appearances for Ajax, scoring 13 goals.
