Manchester United have been handed a big boost in signing Bayern Munich defender Matthijs de Ligt this summer.
The Red Devils are long-term admirers of the Netherlands international and they were initially keen on signing him from Ajax.
The club were once again interested in bringing him from Juventus, but Bayern Munich won the race for his signature.
Florian Plettenberg now claims that Bayern are open to selling De Ligt for a suitable offer with their plans to sign two centre-backs.
They announced the arrival of Hiroki Ito today and the hierarchy are in advanced negotiations to land Jonathan Tah too.
De Ligt is the likely candidate to leave the club and it is claimed that manager Erik ten Hag is a huge admirer of him.
United desperately need a marquee centre-back with Raphael Varane set to leave on a free transfer at the end of the month.
De Ligt would be an ideal replacement for the World Cup winner with his vast experience and familiarity to Ten Hag's tactics.
