Man United target willing to take pay cut in order to complete move to Old Trafford

Matthijs De Ligt is willing to reduce his salary in order to join Manchester United this summer according to reports in Germany.

United are yet to sign anyone so far, but have targeted defensive reinforcements following the departure of Raphael Varane, whilst there are still question marks surrounding the future of Harry Maguire.

The Red Devils have identified Jarrad Branthwaite as their first choice target, and saw an opening offer of £35m rejected, with Everton believed to value the 22-year-old at £70m.
