Manchester United transfer target Matthijs de Ligt, who played under Erik ten Hag at Ajax, has previously been lauded by two of his international teammates
Manchester United will have Virgil van Dijk and Nathan Ake concerned if they can snare one of their top targets this summer.
De Ligt, currently with the Netherlands at Euro 2024, is highly rated by his Premier League-based teammates. As far back as 2019, when he was linked with Liverpool, he was touted as a star of the future by Van Dijk, who said: "He's obviously an excellent defender, that's clear. “Everyone has full confidence in him. As you can see, he's a great player. He's quick, strong for his age, very good in the air and on the ball he is very good. He scores so many from set-pieces so he's got a lot of the same attributes as Van Dijk.”
