Man United should have tried to sign De Ligt says Alan Brazil
Manchester United believe they stand a chance of signing Juventus star Matthijs de Ligt as part of a swap deal for Paul Pogba, reports say. Pogba wants to leave Old Trafford and recently fuelled talk of a move back to Serie A by donning Juve’s colours - something that angered many supporters online.
Pogba’s actions were innocuous enough, with the United star insisting he wore them to show support to Blaise Matuidi, who has tested positive for the coronavirus.
But talk of the France international returning to Juventus continues to gather momentum with the summer transfer window creeping closer.
And, now, the Daily Star say United believe they can sign De Ligt in a swap deal involving Pogba.
The Red Devils were linked with the Juventus star back in the summer having seen the centre-back flourish at Ajax, helping them reach the Champions League semi-finals.
United thought about going for De Ligt but, in the end, saw the defender jump ship to Juve instead.
