Man United ‘propose’ massive Rasmus Hojlund transfer swap deal as £45m talks held with Matthijs de Ligt price revealed

In an effort to bolster his roster before the new season, Erik ten Hag has connected Manchester United to a number of players.

Dan Ashworth, a former player for Newcastle United, has officially been named the club’s technical director.

Price of Matthijs de Ligt disclosed In response to United’s interest, Bayern Munich has reportedly asked for €50 million (£42.5 million) plus bonuses for Matthijs de Ligt, according to Sky Sports Germany.

Over the past few days, United has been strongly connected to the defender and is rumored to have contacted both Bayern and the player. However, as of yet, the club has not made a formal offer.

De Ligt has worked with Erik ten Hag before during the duo’s time at Ajax. De Ligt is said to be on of the United boss’ top targets this window.

MEN Sport says: Matthijs de Ligt has been linked with United for most of the summer, and it seems that the club are now making their move.

Erik ten Hag is keen to add to his defensive options following the departure of Raphael Varane and De Ligt is someone he knows well.

The fact that Bayern are open to a sale is promising, and the £42.5 million asking price is significantly lower than what the club will have to pay for Everton defender Jarred Branthwaite.

If United want to do both deals is still to be seen, but de Ligt would be a good alternative if not.

Shock swap deal for Osimhen
Manchester United have made a shock swap proposal that includes Rasmus Hojlund to Napoli as part of a move for Victor Osimhem, according to reports in Italy.

La Repubblica report that United are willing to offer the Danish international as part of a deal to sign Osimhen ahead of their rivals this season. The striker has been linked with several clubs and has a release clause of around £110 million in his contract.
