Ajax defender De Ligt: 'Who would I chose between Juventus, Barcelona and Man Utd?'

Ajax whizkid Matthis De Ligt has admitted it would be difficult to choose out of Juventus, Manchester United and Barcelona.

All three clubs, as well as Tottenham, are interested in signing the highly-rated 18-year-old centre-back.

"I'm not in touch with anyone yet," De Ligt told Italian outlet Tutto Mercato Web after Holland's 1-1 draw with Italy on Monday night. "I'm here with my national team, focused on this.

"Of course, it's a real honour to be associated with some big clubs but it does not change for me, I just have to continue to play well.

"I hope I can grow as much as possible and that's why it's important to play every week at high levels.

"Who would I choose between Juve, Barcelona and United? It's difficult, they're all great teams.

"We must think about it, understand what is the best step to do. At the moment I do not know, I'm on vacation and I can think about it."
