Middlesbrough boss Kim Hellberg has said he believes Hayden Hackney wants to stay with the Championship club. A move there would reunite him with former Boro boss Michael Carrick, who is in interim charge at Old Trafford. In every aspect of the game he's good, defensively and offensively," Hellberg told BBC Radio Tees. "I think he wants to stay here. "So easily you could think about other things when you get those clubs that are after you - and they should be after him, because he's a top player," Hellberg added.
