Promising Ajax product completes Man Utd switch
The promising winger’s father has told a Dutch newspaper Noordhollands Dagblad that his son has rejected a contract extension with Ajax and an offer of Arsenal in order to join the Red Devils in the January transfer window.
Baars, 16, is one of the most promising prospects of Ajax’s academy and was named Ajax B1 team captain before agreeing a move to the Old Trafford. The Dutch promise is going to move to Manchester once the January transfer window opens, but the deal is already done and Baars can be already considered a new player of Manchester United U-18 team.
Former Manchester United midfielder Nicky Butt is in charge of the Red Devils academy that is now getting back on track after some struggles over the last few years.
