Former Manchester United coach Rene Meulensteen has urged the club to sign CHELSEA defender Jorrel Hato in the summer transfer window, as rumours swirl the defender is keen to leave Stamford Bridge.
Hato, who has six caps for the Netherlands, was the youngest player to captain Ajax and Chelsea really believed that he would become a top player at the club when they signed the lad a few transfer windows ago.
However – The Dutchman has been unable to make a real impact on the Blues side and Meulensteen believes the defender could already be looking to leave Chelsea in the summer transfer window, and a move to Manchester United should happen: ‘It is a disappointing move for Jorrel Hato because he was absolutely outstanding for Ajax at the time,’ Meulensteen told BetGoat.
‘He was very, very young and was the captain, which says a lot about the trust the manager put in him in terms of his personality and his leadership qualities.
‘Then a club like CHELSEA comes in because they want to pick up all the best players here, there, and everywhere. However, it doesn’t necessarily mean that they fit in with the way the team wants to play. He’s been one of the guys who hasn’t really settled.
‘Yes, he can get a big paycheck and a lot of money in the bank, but young players should be playing. Nobody can guarantee success for players wherever they go, but you want to get a sense of the manager’s plan and what he has planned for you.
‘He is also versatile, he can play left-back, centre-back, or as a number six. He is technically very, very good.
‘It doesn’t help his career, so it wouldn’t surprise me if he is looking for a loan move or another challenge elsewhere.
‘If I were any Premier League team, including Manchester United, and he were available or became available, I would definitely be looking at him because he is still very young, and there is a lot of potential to unlock.’
