Ratcliffe is determined to strengthen in every area – especially the defence.
And according to The Athletic, De Ligt has emerged as a top target.
United officials view the 24-year-old as an “increasingly viable” candidate.
But club-to-club negotiations are yet to take place and there is no certainty the move will happen.
Man Utd also remain interested in Jarrad Branthwaite.
