Ajax coach Frank de Boer has called on promising youngster Christian Eriksen to stay with the club to continue his development.
The Denmark international is widely regarded as one of the next big players to come out of the Amsterdam outfit and has been linked with a host of top clubs across Europe.
One of the names linked with the playmaker are Premier League champions Manchester United, who are Ajax's next opponents when they meet in their Europa League last 32 on Thursday.
Red Devils boss Sir Alex Ferguson has already declared his interest in the 20-year-old and will be keen to see the player in action this week, with a possible move on the cards in the summer.
However, De Boer has urged Eriksen to stay put and continue his footballing education in the Netherlands.
He told Sky Sports News: "Of course maybe he will play for a big team like Manchester United in the future. But I think he wants to show what he is capable of in this kind of team.
"It would be better for him to stay until he was 25 because you learn a lot in the Netherlands.
"If you leave afterwards you are a more stable player and ready to play in the big leagues."
