Matthijs de Ligt: Potential Move to Manchester United?
Manchester United have initiated talks with Matthijs de Ligt, the highly-regarded Dutch defender, according to well-known transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
Romano, updating his followers on the social media platform X, mentioned that de Ligt is “one of the options being considered as a new center-back — including Branthwaite.”
Earlier reports revealed that de Ligt is open to the idea of joining Manchester United, despite the club’s absence from next season’s Champions League.
Bayern Munich’s Stand on de Ligt
There is a possibility that Bayern Munich might be willing to sell de Ligt this summer. Reports indicate that Vincent Kompany, the manager, prefers other central defensive options for his team in Bavaria.
Previously, de Ligt has made comments that could be seen as positive signals for Manchester United in securing his services.
de Ligt’s Remarks on Manchester United
In an interview with Dutch media outlet vi.nl, de Ligt reflected on his career and childhood inspirations, hinting at his admiration for Manchester United. He said:
“Everything is moving quickly. During the season, with the club and in various competitions, there’s hardly time to think about it. However, sometimes I realize it, like when I recently had dinner with my childhood friends. We reminisced about how I always wanted to be Cristiano Ronaldo when we played soccer in the garden, especially during his time at Manchester United. This dinner happened right after the two matches against Juventus, where I faced Ronaldo.”
Uncertain Future at Bayern Munich
When asked about his future at Bayern Munich during a press conference, de Ligt remained reserved. He stated:
“I’ve already mentioned that this isn’t the right time for me to consider it. Currently, we are focused on the Euros, which is crucial for me and the national team. That’s why I can’t comment on the situation right now. But I can say that I’ve completed my second season at Bayern and I am very happy there. For now, my focus is on the Euros, and we’ll see what happens afterward.”
Conclusion
The potential transfer of Matthijs de Ligt to Manchester United remains a developing story. While the defender is open to the move and the club is interested, much depends on Bayern Munich’s decisions and the unfolding of the ongoing European Championship. As the summer transfer window progresses, fans will eagerly watch for updates on this possible high-profile transfer.
