Manchester United win race to sign Ajax youngster Millen Baars

Ajax youngster Millen Baars reveals on Instagram that he has made the decision to sign for Manchester United.

Manchester United have won the race to sign Millen Baars after the youngster made the decision to leave Ajax.

The 16-year-old revealed on Instagram that he would be making the switch to Old Trafford, and his father Stefan has said that his son rejected interest from both Chelsea and Arsenal.

He told Noordhollands Dagblad: "We have had talks with Ajax that were between Millen and the club, but it was certainly nothing shocking, he was even appointed captain this season of the B1.

"Ajax is a great club with a very good youth, but they can unfortunately not cope so very well. You saw in the past with other youth players who now play at other clubs. But Millen was ready for a different challenge.

"He played nine seasons in Amsterdam and he has always had the dream to play football in England. There was interest from Italy, Portugal and England, but when he was at Chelsea and United to look, he knew he wanted to play in Manchester. He did not even see Arsenal, his choice was made."

The teenager can either play in centre midfield or on the flank.
