da heads bet: 18-year-old Netherlands international Matthijs de Ligt impressed in his nation’s 3-0 friendly win against Portugal on Monday night, and Manchester United fans have demanded their club signs the talented teenager.

Jose Mourinho looks likely to strengthen his defensive options this summer – the Old Trafford faithful also want him to sign Leicester City and England’s Harry Maguire – and the central defender may have now come on to his radar.
Man United supporters were quick to have their say on the youngster’s display via social media, and while one said “pay whatever it takes and get us De Ligt”, another simply said “sign him now”.
Here is just a selection of the Twitter reaction…
