EPL: Ten Hag to sign another ex-Ajax player for Man Utd

Manchester United manager, Erik ten Hag, is set to make a move for former Ajax defender Matthijs De Ligt.

De Ligt is facing an uncertain future at Bayern Munich, according to Sky Germany.

With Ten Hag’s future at Old Trafford confirmed, the Dutchman has now turned his attention to revamping his squad ahead of the new season.

And he is looking to improve his defence, after the Red Devils conceded 58 goals last season.

Raphael Varane has already left and Jonny Evans could follow him out this summer. Harry Maguire and Lisandro Martinez have both proved injury-prone in recent campaigns.

De Ligt will be allowed to leave Bayern this summer as they plot their own defensive rebuild under new manager Vincent Kompany.

Hiroki Ito has already arrived from Vfb Stuttgart, while Bayer Leverkusen centre-back Jonathan Tah is also being targeted.
