Ajax young defender and captain Matthijs de Ligt has been linked with a move away from the Dutch club as several top European clubs have shown an interest in him, including Barcelona and Manchester United. Former Manchester Untied star Gary Neville says that he's not concerned if the Red Devils miss out on signing de Ligt. "I think United can still attract top-end players because we've seen good players come to the club over the last six or seven years.," Neville said while speaking after the Treble Reunion match aired on BT Sport on the weekend. "This club will never move away from being a sensational football club, it will have difficult moments and it's having a difficult time now. "The money in the game now means you're always in competition. The club has lost players when it's been successful to Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich. "It lost [Arjen] Robben to Chelsea in the mid-2000s, we lost [Samir] Nasri to City, don't always think that when Sir Alex Ferguson was here it didn't happen. "This club lost players when it was successful to some of the biggest clubs in Europe that are competing with United. Don't think that if United lose players now to Barcelona that this is the first time it's ever happened, it's happened before. "It's not because of the current plight, or the coach, or the manager, or the current players. It just happens sometimes. It happened during successful times too."
