#1 Matthijs de Ligt
It has been a year since Matthijs de Ligt was announced as the captain of Ajax and the youngster has excelled in his role so far. The 19-year-old impressed everyone with his leadership skills especially in the knockout games of the UEFA Champions League.
The Dutchman is certain to leave his boyhood club this summer and European bigwigs such as Barcelona, Manchester United and PSG are said to be interested in him. However, it is Manchester United which would be interested the most in a player of such qualities.
Matthijs de Ligt has shown the world the wonderful skills he possesses as a complete defender. His clean tackling, accurate passes and ability to read the game have all made him a highly-rated player to look out for.
Manchester United needs a good defender to solve the issues at the back and the Ajax youngster could be a good pick. Matthijs de Ligt would definitely be a contender to become the captain at the club if he decides to wear the red shirt this summer.
