Manchester United have already signed one centre-back but have made advances in potentially acquiring Matthijs de Ligt as a second defensive arrival.
Erik ten Hag has admitted he is none the wiser as to whether Manchester United will end up completing a deal for Matthijs de Ligt, conceding that the club’s list of transfer targets were drawn up while he was on holiday.
The manager admits that he is unsure whether the 24-year-old will end up at Old Trafford this time around, despite his former links with the centre-half. Speaking to Dutch outlet AD Sportwereld, he said: “It remains to be seen whether De Ligt will come. I know Matthijs well and I will not deny that. Lisandro Martinez, Antony and Andre Onana all played under him at Ajax while Sofyan Amrabat - whose loan from Fiorentina has now ended - featured in his squad at FC Utrecht.
“But of course, I support these decisions, let that be clear," Ten Hag insisted. “We still make these choices together.
