Man Utd news: Patrick Kluivert reveals why son Justin was right to snub United for Roma
MANCHESTER UNITED were linked with Justin Kluivert this summer - and the player’s father, Patrick Kluivert, has now revealed why his son was right to snub Old Trafford for Roma.
“I’m very satisfied with what he is doing,” the former Barcelona and Newcastle hitman 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.”
