Erik Ten Hag urged Manchester United to join Liverpool for a new Van Dijk

Manchester United’s minority stakeholder Sir Jim Ratcliffe would be ready to make his great impact on the Red Devils through a great summer transfer market after it seems unlikely that the head of INEOS’ board at the club was going to try any signing this month, as he would be willing to plan his decisions in the next few months.

In this sense, the British billionaire would have already decided to find a new strong defender for Ten Hag’s team in the next few months, with the Dutchman reportedly urging the British businessman to sign a new Van Dijk for Manchester United according to the latest information appearing on the pages of the Mancunian journal Manchester Evening Standard.

Following these sources, the player in question is the Dutch defender Mathijs De Ligt, currently evolving at Bayern Munich and being relegated to the bench of the Bavarian team under Thomas Tuchel’s management, which would have made the player search a new club to recover his best level on the pitch.

In this sense, according to the information given by the Mancunian edition of the Evening Standard, Erik Ten Hag would have put the player on the top of his wish list for the summer, joining Liverpool in the race to sign the player, as the Reds would be interested in finding a strong replacement for Virgil Van Dijk ahead the next season, which could end in a summer bidding war between both Norwest English clubs.
