Coveted Ajax star Matthijs de Ligt is 'very close' to Manchester United, after the Red Devils made a 'very good' offer to the defender, according to one Catalan report.
The 19-year-old Ajax captain is currently one of the most talked about players in world football, with his impressive displays in the Dutch champions' run to within a Lucas Moura finish of the Champions League final leading fans and the media to speculate furiously on where he will end up next.
With it all but a foregone conclusion that de Ligt will follow Frenkie de Jong out the door at Ajax this summer, most assumed he would join his €75m teammate at Barcelona this summer.
