Former Ajax and Manchester United winger Jesper Olsen believes that Matthijs De Ligt would fit right in at Old Trafford.
Olsen spent four successful seasons at Manchester playing for the Red Devils back in the 1980s after moving from Ajax in 1984. He now believes De Ligt, who also plays for Ajax has the traits and the quality to play football for a top club like Manchester United.
“No doubt about it [he could play for United],” Olsen told Omnisport. “Playing at Ajax, you have to be a quality player. So, of course he could [play for United], no doubt about it. He could fit into any top team at the moment.”
Olsen added: “I think nowadays the top clubs are very much of the same belief in how you play, they like to be in control of the game. So as long as he goes to one of those clubs, I think a player of [his] calibre would fit in in most teams.”
De Ligt has been linked with every top club in Europe and the young Dutch player is tipped to become one of the modern greats of the game due to his style of play. Wherever he goes, he is sure to break some transfer fee record making United a realistic option.
