Per The Athletic, United are holding talks with both club and player with a view to signing him permanently.
United have also been chasing Everton's Jarrad Branthwaite this summer and may well sign both players.
De Ligt was linked to the club several years ago when he left Ajax, but he joined Juventus at that time.
He may now get a chance to showcase his qualities in the Premier League, as he is still only 24 years old.
