Justin Kluivert is no longer just Patrick’s son.
He’s a man reborn in Bournemouth red—12 goals, 6 assists, and a Nation’s League call-up later. Manchester United are watching. Closely. And Liverpool? They’re circling too.
However, Caught Offside reports that United want to move first.
The 25-year-old’s journey has been anything but smooth—Ajax prodigy, Roma misfit, loan wanderer. Then came the Cherries. A Premier League rebirth under Andoni Iraola. And now, another fork in the road.
United, under Ruben Amorim, have begun clearing the deck. Rashford? Gone. Antony? Offloaded. Garnacho? Transfer-listed. The reason? Amorim’s shape demands creators, not dribblers. In his 3-4-2-1, it’s the two behind the striker that do the damage.
Kluivert fits.
Not just for flair, but for vision. For tempo. For grit. He thrives centrally now, no longer tied to the wings. Once seen as a flashy winger without an end product, Kluivert has matured into a creative fulcrum. His movement between the lines, timing of passes, and intelligent positioning have elevated his game.
Liverpool and Spurs may try to match the £42 million asking price, but United hold a card they haven’t in years: a system with purpose. Ruben Amorim isn’t buying names. He’s buying roles. Identity. Vision.
The rebuild has begun. And Kluivert could be its symbol—a conduit between the broken past and a promising future.
This isn’t just a transfer story—it’s a resurrection arc.
A Dutch player once lost in the shuffle, finding meaning again. And maybe, at Old Trafford, a future.
