The 22-year-old has developed tremendously under Ten Hag at Ajax and the Dutchman wants to continue with him at Old Trafford as he seeks to address the club’s defensive mistakes that saw United finish the season with a zero goal difference.
Should United get the player, they will be striking gold as the player is capable of playing in different positions in defense after slotting at center back and right back for his club.
