Ajax are ahead of Manchester United in the battle for Brondby defender Nicolai Boilesen.

Ajax have prepared a contract for the Brondby defender, who had trials at Old Trafford after coming to Sir Alex Ferguson's attention.

"It will be exciting and I am happy to look at what Ajax can offer me," Boilesen told Sporten. "There is obviously a positive impact on the decision when there is already a Dane there."

Chelsea and Monaco have also been tracking the youngster.
