Why could Matthijs de Ligt snub Barcelona for Man Utd – and this is not for the money

Matthijs de Ligt is about to make a decision about his future in the coming days.

Manchester United remains interested in the captain of Ajax, who has enjoyed a sensational campaign.

Barcelona remains in pole position for De Ligt, 19, but their confidence for the conclusion of an agreement has declined in recent weeks, sparking interest from all over Europe.

The United Telegraph reports that United should have waited for a Dutch decision on its future next week.

The teenager is not discouraged by United's failure to win the Champions League and the best conditions would be offered by the Red Devils.

But his decision to consider a move to Old Trafford would also have other reasons.

It is claimed that De Ligt is attracted by the proposal to be at the heart of rebuilding the United States after finding himself in a situation similar to Ajax.

He sees the similarities between the two clubs and knows he will be a guaranteed starter at Old Trafford, which may not be the case in Barcelona.

The La Liga champions hope that the opportunity to play for the club will outweigh any financial offer, but it remains to be seen where De Ligt will end.

This comes after De Ligt has dropped a new transfer indication, admitting that he has "several options" on the table and that he is "excited" for his future.

Addressing RTL Boulevard, De Ligt said: "I am very excited by what the near future will bring me, but I am as calm, I see it as a challenge, it's a good thing. is the most important thing. "

"There are several options, what I do is see what is the best option, it seems logical that one option is better than the other."
