Ronald Koeman tells Man United target Nathaniel Clyne: It's time to make your mind up

RONALD KOEMAN has told Manchester United target Nathaniel Clyne it's time to make his mind up.

Southampton defender Clyne is out of contract in next summer and has been stalling on the offer of a new £45,000-a-week deal.

United boss Louis van Gaal has put the 24-yearold England right back at the top of his summer shopping list.

Saints boss Koeman said: "We are still talking to the agent of Clyne to keep him but we know it is difficult.

"Nobody has knocked on the door of the club to make an offer for Clyne but he only has one season left on his contract.

"We will do everything to keep him but always you need both parties.

DECISION TIME: Clyne must decide if he wants to stay at Southampton before the end of the season

"We won't wait until the end of the season because if there is a player who has one season left you have to do something.

"I would like to know as soon as possible and that is not in the last week of the season.

"By the end of April, the first week of May, it is good to know something about his situation."

Clyne opened the door for a move to Old Trafford earlier this week by admitting a desire to play in the Champions League.

Koeman insists he does not have an issue with the comments, which have upset some Saints fans.
