Manchester United are chasing Ajax star De Ligt, despite there long being an expectancy for Barcelona to get a deal for the defender done. The Catalan giants have been locked in talks over a deal for the 19-year-old for months but, in recent times, talk has been rife that De Ligt may end up going elsewhere. Manchester United are hoping a huge pay packet and promise of regular football will be enough to convince the teenager to make the move to Old Trafford. But former Red Devils boss Van Gaal believes De Ligt would be better off going to fierce rivals Manchester City instead.
