The Express brings today's top story of the day.

Manchester United's top target of the summer, Matthijs de Ligt, has given the club fresh hopes, as his transfer saga continues to drag on. de Ligt was seen in action against England in the semi finals of the Nations league, where his error in first half allowed England to take the lead. The Dutchman fouled Marcus Rashford in the box and gave away a penalty, which the United striker converted. However, de Ligt went on to score the equalizer, as Netherlands won the game in Extra Time.

Speaking to Talksport, de Ligt spoke highly of the Premier League, but added that he had not arrived at a decision yet.

Obviously the Premier League is a great competition, but I haven’t made up my mind yet
I’m still looking at what to do.
For me, the most important thing is to play. I think today showed what experience can do.

He went on to say that he is fully focussed on the Nations League final

Now I’m focusing on the next game against Portugal, that’s the most important thing.

When he speaks about the Premier League, it is only fair that Manchester United comes to mind. And the fact that he has not made up his mind yet, continues to give the Red Devils a thin ray of hope.

But will de Ligt be a United player come August? We shall know pretty soon.
