Mino Raiola has allegedly decided that he wants Ajax defender Matthijs de Ligt to join Manchester United.

De Ligt has established himself as one of world football's top prospects at Ajax, and it is likely to lead to the Netherlands international joining a big European club during the summer.

Barcelona are currently regarded as favourites to complete a deal for the 19-year-old, but according to Mundo Deportivo, his agent has other ideas.

The report claims that Raiola wants the centre-back to make the switch to Old Trafford because it makes 'more financial sense' than a switch to Barcelona.

De Ligt is said to want to play alongside Lionel Messi, while his current Ajax teammate Frenkie de Jong has already agreed to link up with the Catalan giants.
