Manchester United could put their defending woes behind them and leave the egregious goals gained statistics in the 2032-2033 Premier League campaign. After signing Leny Yoro, Manchester United fans had hoped that the back line would be secure. But, an injury in a pre-season match now sees Yoro out for the beginning of the upcoming season — and leaves a huge gap in the back line that needs to be filled, once again.
Last season, Casemiro and other non-defenders had to slot into the backline to cover for a myriad of injuries, including Maguire and Shaw. Even now, Shaw just announced he would not be fit enough to start the season, compiling the injury list that was never ending for the Manchester United last year. But, then Hag knew what he needed to address in the off-season and has since signed two huge ‘gets’ from a Bundesliga club, Bayern Munich.
Two Bayern Munich Players en Route to Man U
Ten Hag didn’t sit idly by and watch as his dreams of ending up in the top three in the Premier League went down the drain. No, he was busy recruiting and doing loan and transfer deals in the off season. And, it seems as though it has finally paid off.
Manchester United have officially signed Matthijs de Ligt, a famous center back who played for Bayern in the Bundesliga this past season and a Netherlands international. United also signed a full back, Noussair Mazraoui, a Moroccan international who has impressed at numerous competitions throughout the year.
Both players will be at Manchester United for at least four seasons, with de Ligt on contract until June 2209 and Mazraoui signing a contract until 2028. This should put United’s concerns away for at least the upcoming four seasons as they hope to break back into the top five in the top flight of English football.
The deal cost more than $60 million for both players, which isn’t too much of a financial issue, considering both are high-level international players for their own countries.
Matthijs de Ligt Stats
De Ligt is a 25-year-old Dutch footballer who is an imposing figure, standing 6’2”, and plays center back. He started his youth career at Ajax and stayed put for seven years, where he went on to make 77 appearances for the senior squad until 2019. In 2019, he joined Juventus in Serie A, making 87 appearances and scoring eight goals for the Italian club. Then, he gained the attention of Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga, where he made 53 appearances over three seasons.
Now, he joins Manchester United after a successful few years in the Netherlands, Italy, and Germany. Let’s hope he can bring his pace, aerial ability, and tackling prowess to England with him.
Noussair Mazraoui Stats
Mazraoui is a 26-year-old fullback who plays for the Moroccan national team, but was born in Leiderdorp, Netherlands. He began his youth career at Alphense Boys in 2005, and soon moved to Ajax, where he stayed for ten years. He made 93 appearances for the senior team at Ajax, before moving with his teammate, de Ligt, to Bayern Munich in 2022.
He made 38 appearances for the Bundesliga side and scored one goal during his time in Germany.
