#1 Manchester United no longer interested in Matthijs de Ligt

De Graafschap v Ajax - Eredivisie

The Metro reported yesterday that teenage sensation Matthijs de Ligt was very close to joining Manchester United, after the Red Devils presented him with an offer that was supposedly too good to be turned down.

At the start of the summer, de Ligt was expected to follow his team mate and good friend de Jong to Camp Nou. It was also reported that the Catalans had an agreement in place with Ajax and only an agreement with the player was pending. It was here, reports said, that United had caused a change of heart for de Ligt, by offering him a huge salary. His recent social media activities put futher fuel to the speculations that de Ligt was moving to Old Trafford.

However, in an extraordinary twist in the saga, sources at Sky Sports confirmed that United have now withdrawn from the race to sign the Dutchman. The common belief within the United management is that de Ligt is already on his way to Barcelona, so there was no point in pursuing a lost cause. United, as such, have withdrawn their interest in de Ligt and will look at other alternatives for their defense now.
