Manchester United have no chance of snaring Matthijs de Ligt if they fail to qualify for the Champions League, claims former Premier League striker Dave Kitson.
“[Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has] got to get to the Champions League because there’s going to be certain players… They need a centre half, De Ligt at Ajax for example, €100m (£86m),” Kitson said.
“They could have gone out and got him. If they don’t get into the Champions League, that’s an 18-year-old kid they can’t attract anymore.
“The Champions League is massive for them.”
