Matthijs de Ligt is poised to reunite with his former Ajax manager Erik ten Hag at Man United after two years with Bayern Munich.
Bayern want £42million for the 24-year-old and United are optimistic of concluding a deal for Netherlands international De Ligt.
United have released Raphael Varane and want to sell fellow centre half Victor Lindelof as he is out of contract next year. United have an existing relationship with De Ligt's agent, Rafaela Pimenta, who was hosted at the club's training complex over the last year.READ MORE: Sancho unaccounted for as United return to training
United scouted De Ligt when he was a teenager at Ajax and their then head of youth recruitment, Derek Langley, later revealed the club vetoed a move for the Dutchman.
