Matthijs de Ligt is learning from Virgil van Dijk
De Ligt and Van Dijk are Netherlands boss Ronald Koeman’s first-choice paring for the national team, with the 19-year-old starring for Ajax as they knocked Real Madrid out of the Champions League.
Berbatov, who played for United for four years from 2008, told Betfair: “One player I would love to see at Old Trafford is Ajax defender Matthijs de Ligt, although I know every big club in Europe is after him.

“I watched him play against Real Madrid and he looks the real deal – so confident and assured for a player of his age.
“Having his international team-mate Virgil Van Dijk already in the Premier League could be a boost for any English team chasing De Ligt.
“The Liverpool man will be telling him how good the league is and that can make a real difference to where you choose to go.â€
