#4 Matthijs de Ligt
Matthijs de Ligt is undoubtedly one of the most promising footballers in the world right now. The 19-year-old wonderkid from the Netherlands has been a major transfer target for many top sides in the world at the moment, having already been linked with Tottenham, Juventus and Barcelona. Despite only being 19, De Ligt has made more than 50 appearances for Ajax and he’s the captain of the Dutch giants right now.
De Ligt has made 12 appearances in the Dutch Eredivisie this season with 1.1 tackles per game, 4 clearances per game and 1.3 blocks per game.
It really is inevitable that the young Dutch sensation is going to have a bright future ahead of him and to actually think that he’s developed into this kind of player at such an early age is absolutely mind-boggling sometimes. There’s no doubt he’d improve the United defence, and he’d also be one for the future for the Red Devils.
