Guillem Balague reveals why Manchester United’s interest in De Ligt cooled down

Manchester United are looking to improve their squad significantly over the summer transfer window following a dismal 2018-19 campaign, and the centre defence is one of manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer top priorities after his side leaked 54 league goals.

The Red Devils have been linked with Ajax centre-back Matthijs De Ligt, but it doesn’t appear that they are still in the race for his signature.

According to Spanish football expert Guillem Balague, Barcelona, Juventus and Bayern Munich are the only clubs the 19-year-old is considering, and that United’s interest in him has since cooled down.
