Matthijs de Ligt was waiting for the offer from Manchester United. Although first, he declined their offer as he thought of a bright future at Bayern Munich but now, the Red Devils have again entered the race and have made a 40 million euro deal to the Dutchman.
Bayern Munich is currently demanding a fee of 50 million euros for Matthijs de Ligt, which puts Manchester United in a situation if they are to make this transfer take place. De Ligt still insists on making a move to the Red Devils side as reported by several journalists. Erik ten Hag will be eager to get his hands on the signing of Matthijs de Ligt as he paired up with him back in his Ajax days when the club was undefeatable by several European giants in the big games of tournaments such as the Champions League.
Reasons Why Matthijs de Ligt is Perfect for Manchester United
Knowing that Raphael Varane has left for Como and Aaron Wan-Bissaka may also leave for West Ham, signing the Dutchman should be the priority for Manchester United. De Ligt is a strong player in terms of both, physically and mentally. He possesses great composure on the ball and takes no pressure from the opponent’s forward line.
He is a beast when it comes to aerial ball clearances and also has great ball distribution techniques throughout the field. It is even believed that he was an outfield player in his academy days before joining Ajax. Matthijs de Ligt loves to create deep spaces from the defense line and pull out a great long pass, directly switching the play and creating a wonderful chance to score.
Another major reason is that Leny Yoro will be out of the squad for at least three months from now. He is about to miss a crucial part of the Premier League campaign where the teams expect to pick a good start in terms of points. Yoro picked up an injury during the pre-season training and his being out of the squad creates a vacancy for the centre-back position.
Bayern Munich Hold Tight
Considering these situations going all around, Manchester United will be in desperate need of a defender for the upcoming season. Matthijs de Ligt has a contract with Bayern Munich until the summer of 2027, if Bayern are to loan out de Ligt this remains the best time. Bayern Munich are looking forward to making new signings from Bayer Leverkusen anytime soon and selling Matthijs de Ligt will make them very strong financially. This will help them in utilizing the funds for their latest signings.
A situation where Manchester United are currently struggling, and with this group of players out too, they will find it very difficult to regain their form next season. The players like Casemiro and experienced veteran Anthony Martial are also heading to experience different leagues which makes it even more relevant for Matthijs de Ligt to sign for Manchester United. Manchester United is continuing negotiations with Bayern Munich and the official news from the clubs awaits and can be here anytime soon.
