Ligt, sensation from Ajax, told his agent Mino Raiola to join Liverpool in front of Man Utd

MATTHIJS DE LIGT was urged by his agent Mino Raiola to sniff Manchester United in favor of Liverpool.

The defender of Ajax, aged 19, is the most fashionable property of football this summer, as he prepares for the future.

Barcelona and United have been chasing the Dutchman for months. Liverpool, Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus are also enthusiastic.

The Spanish publication SPORT claims that the superstar representative, valued at 75 million pounds, has two favorite clubs in mind for his client.

And the Red Devils could face a major disappointment in the race for Captain Ajax.

Raiola oversees all negotiations for De Ligt and, as the Dutch giants seek clarification on his exit, he would be on the verge of securing his next destination.

Liverpool has tried to play down his interest in the ace, but it is thought that he is Barcelona's biggest rival in the transfer race.

It is also thought that Juventus would have offered him 75 million pounds, while PSG is willing to do the same.

Although he is in pole position to sign De Ligt, Barca refuses to pay the huge expense to recover it.

Due to the huge interest of the whole continent, Raiola would have increased the wage demands for the center-half.

And he seems ideally hopeful that the winners of the Jurgen Klopp Champions League or the champions of Serie A will face them to make a breakthrough in the saga of transfers.

Barca is holding on and hopes that De Ligt's wish to play for the club will ultimately help them get things done.

But today's reports will be hard to read for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and United, who have one of Agent's other star clients, Paul Pogba, at Old Trafford.

De Ligt has to play for Holland against England tomorrow in the Uefa Nations League in Portugal.
