Matthijs de Ligt has been heavily linked with a move to Manchester United this summer, but Leny Yoro's big-money switch to Old Trafford may impact his prospects
Despite Manchester United's recent acquisition of Leny Yoro , Matthijs de Ligt remains interested in joining the club.
De Ligt, 24, has been heavily linked with United over the years, but the move finally seems plausible amid more intense speculation. Despite some reports suggesting he wishes to stay at Bayern Munich, fresh claims from Gianluca Di Marzio indicate the Dutchman would still be open to a move if United are planning more renovations at the back.
With Raphael Varane leaving the club on a free transfer and Victor Lindelof potentially facing the axe, a new central defender was always a priority at Old Trafford this summer. Yoro, 18, has the potential to pair well with Argentinian hard-man Lisandro Martinez - who missed much of last season due to injury - while Harry Maguire's future remains uncertain depending on United's remaining business.
There is also the matter of United's finances to consider as they look to comply with spending laws and the Premier League's profit and sustainability regulations . Last term's FA Cup win - and the resulting berth secured in next season's Europa League - have boosted revenue, but the budget will still pale compared to certain rivals.
