Bullish transfer stance amid Leeds interest justified in Plymouth win
Stoke City fans will be thankful that the club did not bow to pressure to sell Million Manhoef this summer after his starring role in their win at Plymouth Argyle last time out.
Manhoef only joined the Potters on a three-and-a-half-year deal from Eredivisie outfit Vitesse in the January transfer window but has fast become one of their, and the Championship’s, most exciting wingers in his short time in English football so far.
The Dutch under-21 attacker registered four goals and an assist in 14 games after his arrival, as he played a key role in Stoke’s eventually successful bid to avoid relegation to League One.
As a result, he was the subject of reported transfer interest from fellow Championship side Leeds United over the summer, but Stoke were unwilling to part with his services so soon, and that decision has been justified by his performances at the start of this season, and not least in his most recent outing at Home Park.
