Matthijs de Ligt’s possible doubts about the long-term project at Juventus have seen an Erik ten Hag-led Manchester United re-ignite their interest in the Dutch centre back.
The 22-year-old defender’s recent interview from the Netherlands’ training camp, where he expressed some doubts regarding a contract renewal with the Bianconeri, has caused anxiety in Turin. A move away in the summer now doesn’t seem impossible, despite his strong season this campaign under Massimiliano Allegri.
As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, Manchester United are interested in making a move for De Ligt this summer, wanting to reunite him with new coach Ten Hag. The pair found success together at Ajax and he could be the right signing to shore up their poor defence.
Chelsea are also keen but a move to West London seems a little less likely considering the recent takeover. The Red Devils were keen to sign De Ligt back in the summer of 2019 before he made the move to Juventus.
Nothing concrete has taken place yet but Manchester United are likely to make an approach for the 22-year-old in the coming months, hopeful of securing a discount on his €120m release clause.

I’ll take the 120M & though in Rabiot
And they got rid of dybala who wants to be at juve, for this lump who gets €10m a year and has a resale value
Honestly de ligt has not lived up to what we saw at Ajax. To me he’s not worth what we pay him and I feel juve could maybe use his sale at high price to bump the squad better. With World Cup prices will
Raise and it could be an opportunity. He’s inconsistent
De ligt failed at Juve and when the offers come in, Juve really should consider it
Forget about his age and potential because he never show it on the pitch
Now it’s all about business and when desperate teams like MU or PSG bring the proposals we have to take it
Now or empty hand!
Sell him
