The Old Trafford outfit want the defensive duo to be available for the opening Premier League contest versus Fulham on Friday night.
As per the report, should United get the double deal over the line, they will seal signings worth over £230m to get former Ajax players for Ten Hag.
The Dutch manager did wonders with the Eredivisie giants with De Ligt as his captain. The Dutch club won the domestic double in 2019 and also reached the semi finals of the Champions League.
Enroute to reaching the last four, Ten Hag’s Ajax even ousted the then reigning European champions, Real Madrid, and Cristiano Ronalo’s Juventus.
Pep Guardiola, in his managerial career, has only signed a single player that he has managed at a former club i.e. when he brought Thiago Alcantara to Bayern from Barca.
On the other hand, Jurgen Klopp never signed a star that he has managed earlier in his career.
Do you think Erik ten Hag is still living in the past? Does he not have the aura to attract the best players in the world, therefore, moves to lure his former players?
