Holland coach Koeman urges Kluivert to reject Man Utd interest

Holland coach Ronald Koeman is urging Justin Kluivert to stay with Ajax.

The 18-year-old is attracting interest from Manchester United after an impressive start to his fledgling career with Ajax.

Winger Kluivert, son of former Barcelona star Patrick, has 10 goals in 50 games for Ajax so far, including eight strikes in 39 outings this term.

"I spoke to him about this," Koeman said. "He's in talks with Ajax about his contract.

"I think the best is for him stay in Holland because he's only 18."

Kluivert could be given a first senior international appearance when the Dutch host England in Amsterdam on Friday evening.
