Erik ten Hag has confirmed that talks are underway to take Matthijs de Ligt to Manchester United.

Raphael Varane left upon his contract's expiry and Willy Kambwala was sold to Villarreal, while Victor Lindelof could also be on his way out.

De Ligt is no stranger to Ten Hag, having played under him at Ajax before making the move to Bayern Munich.



If he does make the switch to United, he'll be joining a growing Dutch contingent at the club, which includes new striker Joshua Zirkzee and coaches Ruud van Nistelrooy, Rene Hake and Jelle ten Rouwelaar.

While it may appear that Ten Hag is pulling all the strings, he insists that every new signing De Ligt included is a joint decision with the new structure implemented by owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe.

''We still have to wait and see whether De Ligt will come," Ten Hag told Dutch newspaper Algemeen Dadblad.

Matthijs de Ligt could leave Bayern Munich for Manchester United.

With the arrival of new Sporting director Dan Ashworth, technical director Jason Wilcox and chief executive Omar Berrada, a change may be in the wind; however, it seems as if Ten Hag is retaining some influence.

''I know Matthijs well, of course, I'm not going to deny that," he said.

Does he fit in terms of character, age and of course the quality that we are looking for."
