Manchester United have already agreed a deal to sign Joshua Zirkzee, who is expected to complete his medical today and become the first signing of this summer at Old Trafford.
After Zirkzee, Man Utd are ready to secure their second signing in the form of another Dutch international, Matthijs de Ligt.

As per today’s edition of The Mirror, the headline states, ‘Double Dutch off to United”.
The famous British media outlet have mentioned that the Red Devils are closing in to hire the services of both Zirkzee and De Ligt.
United will use the funds from Mason Greenwood’s sale and invest them to lure the Bologna forward and the Bayern Munich central defender,
It is stated that Man Utd are ‘ready to pay’ £43million to secure Matthijs de Ligt from German Bundesliga giants.
At Old Trafford, Erik ten Hag has already brought several players that he has managed earlier in his career.
Lisandro Martinez and Antony arrived from Ajax two years ago. Amrabat, who featured under the Dutch boss at Utrecht, played for United on loan last year.
On the other hand, former Ajax goalie, Andre Onana, arrived from Inter Milan last summer.
Now, De Ligt, who was the captain of the Ajax side that won the domestic double under Erik ten Hag in 2019, is close to reuniting with his former boss at Man Utd.
After leaving the Eredivisie giants, the Dutch international, who did not feature for even a single minute at the Euros, has not been at his best.
Nevertheless, he is still young and Man Utd fans will hope that Ten Hag can get De Ligt back to his best.
