Netherlands&nbsp;legend Ruud Gullit believes&nbsp;Manchester United&nbsp;will miss out on signing&nbsp;Ajax&nbsp;star Matthijs de Ligt due to lack of&nbsp;Champions League&nbsp;football.

But while Barca and PSG can boast the chance to play in Europe’s top continental club competition, Manchester United find themselves in the&nbsp;Europa League&nbsp;after a sixth place finish in the Premier League last season and Gullit thinks that will prevent him from landing at Old Trafford. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/i-think-de-ligt-wants-to-play-in-the-champions-league-gullit/1h2n3fjrzgvfg1a4gy7pwxrm6h" target="_blank">Read the full story right here on Goal!</a>
