Louis van Gaal advises Matthijs de Ligt to pick Manchester City

Louis van Gaal's advise to Matthis de Ligt might enrage the United fans

Dutch sensation Matthijs de Ligt has been stealing the limelight for the most part of the summer, given Manchester United and Barcelona's are in hot pursuit for his signature. While the 19-year-old is yet to make a concrete decision as to where he will play next season, Louis van Gaal and Peter Bosz have already passed on their words of advice.

Speaking on the matter to Fox Sports, Bosz said,

"I think De Ligt fits perfectly with Manchester City,"

"Vincent Kompany is already gone and Nicolas Otamendi is not good enough. Then I would love to see him next to Aymeric Laporte."

Ex-Manchester United boss van Gaal also seemed to voice the same opinion as the Ajax official. The retired Dutch manager said,

"I think exactly the same. Although De Ligt can go to Barcelona too, because I don’t like their central defenders either."

"He could play at Barcelona, but he could play for Manchester City also, and in that case I would choose Pep Guardiola over Lionel Messi."

Manchester United are said to be in pole position to sign de Ligt but fear that their interest might be used to get a better deal at Barcelona. Manchester City are also said to be in search of a new defender and are plotting a raid for Leicester City centre-back Harry Maguire.

Manchester United sign wonderkid Dillon Hoogewerf from Ajax

Manchester United have completed the signing of Dillon Hoogewerf from Ajax

While Manchester United continue to be linked to Ajax skipper Matthijs de Ligt, they have snatched one of Ajax's brightest young stars from their famous youth academy.

16-year-old Dillon Hoogewerf confirmed his move to the Red Devils through his Instagram account on June 1. The talented teenager is known for his exciting set of attacking skills, having scored 10 goals and notched 6 assists for the Ajax U-17 side this season.

Dillon Hoogewerf had been linked with a move to the Premier League giants in the recent past.

Manchester United also announced the transfer via their twitter account with a short 16-second video. The Red Devils will pay an undisclosed fee as a compensation fee for his services.

Hoogewerf will start his career at Manchester United with the reserves from the next season.

Adrien Rabiot's Manchester United salary offer revealed

Adrien Rabiot is set to leave Paris Saint Germain on a free transfer this summer

French international Adrien Rabiot is yet to make a decision on where he will be playing football next season. The 24-year-old, having fallen out with PSG in 2018 over contract disputes, hasn't featured for the club since December.

According to The Mirror, Manchester United are said to be keen on landing the Frenchman and have offered him a salary of £173,000 per week to fend off competition from other clubs. However, Rabiot still won't make it in the line of top earners at Old Trafford.

United have also offered a €5m fee as signing bonus to Rabiot. The midfielder has already let the world know that he is a massive Liverpool fan. It remains to be seen if the Red Devils can convince him to choose Manchester over Merseyside.

Manchester United contact Gianluigi Donnarumma's agent

Gianluigi Donnarumma is a target for the Red Devils

A number of players are said to be embracing the exit door of Old Trafford this summer, with Spanish shot-stopper David de Gea also rumoured to be amongst the ones tipped to leave.

The 28-year-old has a year left on his contract and the Red Devils are yet to agree a new deal with him. Should he fail to commit his future to the club, Ed Woodward and co have already made a back-up plan to follow.

According to reports in Italy, Man United have contacted Gianluigi Donnarumma's agent, Mino Raiola, over the prospect of a potential transfer.

Raiola is already said to be in negotiations with United over a deal for talented Dutchman Matthijs de Ligt.

According to the report, the 20-year-old Italian goalkeeper would cost anything between £48.7m and £53.1m. Raiola has brokered some of the most notable deals with Manchester United in the past - Sergio Romero, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Paul Pogba, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Romelu Lukaku to name a few.

Real Madrid to offer three players to Manchester United in exchange for Paul Pogba

Real Madrid want Paul Pogba this summer

Zinedine Zidane has made no secret of his desire to land Manchester United star Paul Pogba this summer. The Real Madrid manager is a keen admirer of his compatriot and is leaving no stone unturned in efforts to sign him.

According to reports, Florentino Perez is ready to offer three of his players in order to land Pogba, who is also equally keen on a move to the Bernabeu.

While Gareth Bale has been substantially linked with an Old Trafford move, Perez also plans to offer James Rodriguez and Keylor Navas to sweeten the deal and avoid direct payment.

Rodriguez has spent the season 2018/19 on loan at Bayern Munich while Navas was the second-choice goalkeeper behind Thibaut Courtois all season.

Should the deal go through, Paul Pogba will join Eden Hazard at Real Madrid. Los Blancos are said to have agreed an £88.5m deal for the Chelsea superstar.
