Matthijs de Ligt to Manchester United transfer a done deal pending medicals - says Spanish journalist.

^{The reporter has tweeted the news just now, stating that an announcement will most likely be held up until after upcoming international games to generate hype over the deal.}

De Ligt to #MUFC is a done deal pending medicals. Total agreement with Ajax, the player and Raiola. I don’t expect any news till after the International games.

In the next week or so you will see conflicting articles. This is to build hype around the deal which #MUFC want.

Martinez has previously accurately tweeted about Alexis Sanchez joining Man Utd, so this could be exciting news for Red Devils supporters.

An official announcement from the Club is expected to be made in the aftermath the player's international games.

De ligt age, 19, has been of a great consideration for the club ahead of other defensive targets like Maguire and Koulibaly who are believed to be 26 and 27 year old respectively.

De Ligt is one of the most exciting talents in world football right now after a terrific season for Ajax, whom he captained to the Eredivisie title and a surprise run to the Champions League semi-finals.

The 19-year-old looks to have a great career ahead of him and would be absolutely ideal for United right now given their problems in defence.
