In case you didn’t know…
Following another heartbreaking season in the domestic circuit, Manchester United are looking to include a few new faces to bridge the gap between them and the likes of Manchester City and Liverpool.
In order to make this transfer window a successful one, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is determined to sign a superstar centre-back. Matthijs de Ligt has been linked with a move to Old Trafford for a while now.
In an interview, de Ligt revealed that he wanted to be like Cristiano Ronaldo. He also told that his first footy shirt was the winger’s when he was in England.
The heart of the matter
According to David Ornstein, Manchester United’s offer was there on the table of Matthijs de Ligt. Nevertheless, it was the player who doesn’t want to join the Red Devils.
David hasn’t made it clear why the Dutch asset has decided to reject United’s transfer request. However, It’s expected that missing the Champions League spot has heavily hampered Manchester United’s hope of landing de Ligt from Ajax in this summer transfer window.
What is next?
If reports surrounding the 19-year-old superstar are to be believed, de Ligt will join Juventus in the upcoming weeks. The deal is expected to cost Juventus around £62million.
