Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is reportedly set to pursue a move for former Ajax defender Matthijs De Ligt, who currently faces an uncertain future at Bayern Munich, according to Sky Germany.

With Ten Hag’s position at Old Trafford secure, the Dutch manager is focusing on revamping his squad for the upcoming season. Improving the defence is a priority after the Red Devils conceded 58 goals last season.

Raphael Varane has already departed, and Jonny Evans might follow this summer. Additionally, Harry Maguire and Lisandro Martinez have both struggled with injuries in recent campaigns.

Bayern Munich is open to letting De Ligt leave this summer as they plan their own defensive overhaul under new manager Vincent Kompany. The German champions have already signed Hiroki Ito from VfB Stuttgart and are targeting Bayer Leverkusen centre-back Jonathan Tah.
