Manchester United rule out a move for Matthijs De Ligt
Manchester United are desperate to sign a quality centre-back in the summer and if the reports that have surfaced over the last couple of days were anything to go by, they looked to be frontrunners in the race to sign the young Ajax sensation, Matthijs De Ligt.
However, according to the latest reports, Manchester United have ruled out a move for the Dutchman. The Manchester United top brass believes that the 19-year-old Ajax captain is on his way to Barcelona.
De Ligt's teammate at Ajax, Frenkie De Jong, had agreed, earlier in the winter transfer window, to join Barcelona and De Ligt could very well team up with him.
Matthijs De Ligt is one of the brightest young prospects in world football right now and he has been absolutely immense for the Dutch side in the Champions League this term where they crashed out of Europe's elite competition in the semi-final by the narrowest of margins against Tottenham Hotspur.
