Manchester United are apparently ready to renew their interest in Juventus centre back
De Ligt has largely struggled somewhat making the move to Juventus
ESPN's report says United are prepared to renew their interest in de Ligt once the transfer window opens, stating the centre back is still viewed as an ideal addition to their project under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Eventually, ESPN do point out that it's not in any way likely Juventus will cash in on their new defender just one year into de Ligt's career at the club.
And while Manchester United might be prepared to act if Juventus decide to cut their losses, the Bianconeri don't have enough back-up to warrant selling the club's third most expensive signing of all time.
On top of the ageing Leonardo Bonucci and Giorgio Chiellini, Daniele Rugani hasn't convinced anyone over his long-term future since joining from Empoli, while Merih Demiral (while highly rated) struggled to break into Maurizio Sarri's first team before picking up a cruciate ligament injury.
ESPN don't suggest how much any deal between de Ligt and Manchester United could cost, although they do point out how long-term target Kalidou Koulibaly is still on their radar ahead of the new season.
