The Red Devils are said to be among the frontrunners to sign the teenager but the former Dutch star thinks their Europa League status will hurt them
Netherlands legend Ruud Gullit believes Manchester United will miss out on signing Ajax star Matthijs de Ligt due to lack of Champions League football.
The centre-back enjoyed a stellar season for club and country, captaining Ajax to the Champions League semi-final while also starting for a Netherlands side that made the UEFA Nations League final.
De Ligt is expected to depart the Champions League semi-finalists this summer with Barcelona, Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain mooted as suitors.
