Meulensteen Urges United to Target Van de Ven | Manchester News

René Meulensteen blasts Manchester United for missing out on Micky van de Ven, calling the Dutch defender the perfect missing piece to fix their shaky defense. Van de Ven’s power, speed, and Premier League savvy would’ve made him a starter—not just a backup—and Meulensteen is baffled he didn’t attract more suitors, especially from top clubs. While Maguire’s late-season form is noted, Meulensteen insists he needs better partners, and the right-back spot also needs work. Van Hecke from Brighton is mentioned as an alternative, but van de Ven remains the top target. Meanwhile, Meulensteen’s own career is taking a surprising turn—he’s now part of Stockport County’s technical staff, sparking curiosity about his new role.
