Manchester United have done plenty of business with Ajax in the last few months, and there could be another on the way in the next year.
The Red Devils brought in Erik ten Hag as head coach, as well as defender Lisandro Martinez and winger Antony in the summer transfer window, as the English side took on a new direction in the transfer market.
The transfers brought in a lot of money for the Dutch champions, allowing them to fund a mega transfer window of their own, and there could be another transfer happening in the future.
One Ajax youngster has been talking up a possible reunion with Ten Hag at Old Trafford, and there could be a move happening next year as he continues through the ranks in Amsterdam.

Van Axel Dongen’s contract with Ajax expires in 2023, and the Dutch champions will be eager to keep him in Amsterdam as he’s one of the club’s highly-rated talents.
Along with the likes of Youri Baas, Youri Regeer and others, he’s part of a group that’s coming through the ranks at the club and many expect him to have a bright future in the game.
He discussed his future with Ajax and his contract as well, which expires at the end of the campaign: “To be honest, I am not currently in the process of renewing my contract.
“For now I will focus completely on staying fit and playing and see what comes my way. Talks are not underway yet, but they could always be,” Van Axel Dongen said.
