However, the Dutchman confirms the Bayern central is a target for the club but remains to be seen if he will join.

"It remains to be seen whether Matthijs de Ligt will come, I know him well," Ten Hag told AD.

"I wanted to sign him two years ago but at that time, he was already very far along to join Bayern. Believe it or not, his name did not come from me in the process.

"During my vacation I was three or four weeks out of the process. During that period it was really the club, the newly equipped scouting and recruitment department, that brought in these players.

"The fact that there are also Dutch people among them is in fact a coincidence.

"Primarily, these were players who were proposed from our organisation. But of course I support it, let that be clear. And we still make the choice together.'
