Coveted Ajax star Matthijs de Ligt is 'very close' to Manchester United, after the Red Devils made a 'very good' offer to the defender, according to one Catalan report.
The 19-year-old Ajax captain is currently one of the most talked about players in world football, with his impressive displays in the Dutch champions' run to within a Lucas Moura finish of the Champions League

A separate report from Catalan daily
Is De Ligt headed to #MUFC? That was one of the most asked questions on this week's #AskGuillem, so I checked some more and this is what I've heard.

They claim that United have offered €14m-a-year (£12.3m), which would work out at €270k (£238k) a week if split as a basic weekly wage.
"I'm hearing that Manchester United is not after de Ligt," he said in a clip posted on Twitter. "I wonder if that has to do with the fact that they don't want him - which I'd be surprised - or that he doesn't want to go to United - which I'd be less surprised. There's no Champions League. He can choose the other clubs.
"Manchester United are out of the equation for de Ligt as it stands right now."
If De Ligt wants to join us I don’t want him. Can’t be signing players with poor judgement
