Matthijs de Ligt 'Would Fit Perfectly' at Manchester City, Says Peter Bosz

Former Ajax manager Peter Bosz believes Matthijs de Ligt "would fit perfectly" at Manchester City as a replacement for Vincent Kompany.

De Ligt, 19, is widely expected to leave Ajax this summer after a remarkable season in which the Amsterdam outfit won a domestic double and reached the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League.

According to Sky Sports, Barcelona are strong favourites to sign the centre-back having already sealed the signing of his team-mate, midfielder Frenkie de Jong, while Liverpool and Manchester United have also been linked with the Ajax captain.
