Manchester United will have Virgil van Dijk and Nathan Ake concerned if they can snare one of their top targets this summer.
United are looking to strengthen in numerous areas during the first closed season with Sir Jim Ratcliffe in charge of football operations. Centre-back is a key priority and talks are believed to be underway over signing Bayern Munich defender Matthijs de Ligt, who played under Erik ten Hag at Ajax.
Sky Sports Germany report that Ten Hag is “still a big fan” of the 24-year-old, who joined Bayern from Juventus for around £68million two years ago, and that talks are advancing. Juve, in turn, paid a similar amount to Ajax in the summer of 2019. The Bavarian giants are said to be willing to sell for the right price.
