REPORTS: Man Utd launch attack to sign £200,000-a-week defender

The Red Devils conceded 57 goals during the 21/22 season, and they will need to bolster their backline this summer.

According to recent report, the Manchester based club are interested in signing Juventus centre-back, Matthijs de Ligt, whose future in Italy is up in the air.

Corriere dello Sport reported earlier this month that Erik Ten Hag's side are prepared to take advantage of the Dutchman's current situation in Turin.

While another story reported that, Man United have stepped in with an offer to buy the highly-rated defender from the Italian outfit

The Old Trafford club have reportedly now launched an attack to lure the Ex-Ajax Star, who is being eyed by other Top European Clubs & according to CdS Juventus are concerned.

De Ligt earns £12m per season (£200,000 per week) according to Calcio Mercato.

The Bianconeri are trying to convince De Ligt to put pen to paper on new terms. But the Netherland international seem uninterested.

Juve are becoming increasingly worried that they could lose one of the star player this current transfer window.

De Ligt rose to prominence under Ten Hag's management, and the youngster's presence at Threatre of Dreams could be enticing.

Man United, according to Corriere dello Sport, isn't looking like a probable destination next campaign owing to the lack of Champions League action.
