  WHAT HAPPENED?

  Per Sky Germany, De Ligt has decided that he definitely wants to move to Old Trafford this summer to reunite with Ten Hag. He worked under the United boss at Ajax during the famous 2018-19 season, which saw them go on to win the domestic double and reach the Champions League semi-final, defeating Real Madrid and Juventus before losing to Tottenham in heartbreaking fashion.

Sky expects the agreement to be reached within the next few days, but a medical is yet to be scheduled.
