Manchester United interested in De Ligt as Juve might let him leave

Manchester United are willing to make Matthijs de Ligt an offer from Juventus if the Dutch defender continues to struggle in Italy, according to Mail.

Matthijs de Ligt who was among some numbers of hottest properties in European football last summer when he turned down a number of clubs to join Juve for £67.5million after leading Ajax to the semi-finals of the Champions League.

However, the 20-year centre-back has failed to adapt during a difficult first season in Serie A, and lost his place to Merih Demiral before the Turk was injured in January.

United are understood to be monitoring the situation in case Juve decide to cut their losses. They are aware that the player’s agent Mino Raiola has a reputation for moving his clients on quickly and De Ligt could become available next summer or even sooner.
