Despite the fact Matthijs de Ligt was the star signing for Juventus last summer, Manchester United are willing to satisfy the desire of their manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. That is to sign the Dutch central defender for next season, 'ESPN' has revealed.

Surprising news coming from 'ESPN'. The cited media outlet reports that Manchester United are willing to attend to an ambitious and complex request from the manager: sign Matthijs de Ligt.

According to that information, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants to exploit the potential of the Dutch youngster, something which he has not achieved up to now in the Turin outfit.

Nevertheless, we are talking about a very difficult signing to carry out. Firstly because he is in Juventus' long term plans as they need people to replacement the veteran defenders in Chiellini and Bonucci.

In addition, the current coronavirus crisis will mean a much less active market in the next transfer window so Manchester United will not be in the best situation to make a big signing. Juventus signed De Ligt from Ajax for 85 million.

The current Serie A leaders are fully confident that De Ligt will end up triumphing as a Juve player.
