Manchester United target names his dream club

Highly-rated Ajax prodigy Justin Kluivert has specified exactly which clubs he sees himself at as he reveals his desire to play in the Premier League.

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho is impressed with the youngster

Bengaluru, February 14: Highly-rated Ajax prodigy Justin Kluivert has specified exactly which clubs he sees himself at as he reveals his desire to play in the Premier League.

The son of Dutch legend Patrick has shot to prominence following a stunning campaign with Ajax and is watched by a host of clubs across Europe despite being just 18 years of age.

When he was asked whether he would ever move to Premier League, Kluivert, 18, told Helden: "If you get a nice offer, you never know.

"England appeals to me. Arsenal, Tottenham, Chelsea or Manchester United are nice clubs where I can see myself playing in a few years time."

Kluivert insists he would also be keen follow in his father's footsteps and sign for Barcelona one day.

And, while he admits he used to think that meant he would never play for El Clasico rivals Real Madrid, he has since changed his tune, insisting he could not turn Los Blancos down if they came calling for him.

The 18-year-old added: "Everywhere I go abroad they know my father, he often asked: 'Come to Barcelona, I'll give a tour of Camp Nou'.

"I really wanted to go to Barcelona instead of Real Madrid. Barcelona is in my heart, but who am I to say no to Real Madrid?"

Kluivert's current deal runs until 2019, and Ajax director Marc Overmars has confirmed the club are negotiating an extension.

He told De Telegraaf: "I am discussing his contract with his agent Mino Raiola and I still have good hope that we will reach an agreement."

Manchester United are huge admirers of the Dutch sensation and were linked with a summer move for the Ajax starlet a few days ago but it seems that the youngster will stay at his boyhood club to continue his developement.
