Report: Manchester United want Matthijs de Ligt

According to reports from the Evening Standard, Manchester United are looking to make a fresh move for Dutch defender Matthijs de Ligt.

The Red Devils were keen to sign the Dutch defender from Ajax, but he opted to move to Juventus instead. However, the 20-year-old has endured a difficult season in Italy following his £67.5million move from Ajax.

The move has not worked out as they all hoped, and now United are monitoring his situation with a view to a fresh move.

The report claims that United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is looking to bolster his defence during the summer, as he is searching for an ideal defensive partner for Harry Maguire.
