#1 Matthijs de Ligt will inform United of his final decision in the coming days

Matthijs de Ligt will inform United of his final decision in a couple of days

Today's top story involves the de Ligt saga once again. The Telegraph reports that Manchester United are expecting a decision from Matthijs de Ligt in the next couple of days. Even though the Dutchman was widely reported to be on his way to Camp Nou, we had earlier reported that United had suddenly emerged as the favourites for his signature.

de Ligt is still tempted by a move to the Premier League giants, which is why his impending transfer to Barcelona has stalled. His advisors believe that a move to the Premier League will better suit his ambition of becoming the world's best defender. United's lack of Champions League and need for massive rebuilding this summer has not deterred him. In fact, being the center of their rebuilding process has actually appealed to him. And speaking to the Dutch Media about his future, de Ligt actually admitted that he had a few options in his hands:

"I’m very excited for what could be coming in the near future

"But I’m calm too. I see it as a challenge, that’s the most important thing. There are various options, what I’m doing is looking for the best option."

United are definitely among those options, and they will be hoping to be the Dutchman's final choice in the coming days. Stay tuned for more updates on this news.
