PAUL WARNE reckons Rangers winger Jake Hastie plays with a maturity beyond his years after seeing him hit the ground running at Rotherham this term.

Hastie made the move to United just weeks after putting pen-to-paper on a four-year Gers deal.

He has made an immediate impression in League One and has three goals in eight appearances.

Hastie will spend the rest of the campaign south of the border and Miller boss Warne is delighted to have him on board.

Warne said: “I FaceTimed him for about an hour. I was completely honest, as always, saying he could come here and fight and that we’re good people who would look after him. I asked him ‘Do you want me to speak to your parents or anything like that?’ and then his mum chirped up from the background saying that she’d heard everything I’d just said.

“Fortunately, I didn’t swear once. I’m very pleased about that!

“People forget that Jake’s just a young lad. He’s just out of his teens and he’s moved to a different country. Until recently, he’s always lived at home and his mum has always done things for him.

“We’re trying to get him to make all the right decisions because we need him to get stronger and fitter. Ideally, we need him to play virtually every minute of every game if his form keeps up. Hopefully, when he does go back to Rangers he’ll be a better player and more rounded person than when he came here. That would help our relationship with them.

“What I like about him is that he’s a no-fuss footballer. He doesn’t do 15 step-overs and then do nothing with the ball. All he wants to do is get down the outside of full-backs and put crosses in. He’s a dream for us. He’s a great kid and we’re lucky to have him.

“The way of the world now, young players watch YouTube videos and they’re all obsessed with doing round-the-worlds and nutmegs. That isn’t really proper league football. Jake plays with greater maturity than his age.”
