Bayern Munich defender Matthijs de Ligt is keen on a move to Manchester United, reports Sky Sports Deutschland’s Florian Plettenberg.
De Ligt featured 22 times for Bayern last season, having struggled with injury problems, with reports suggesting that he could depart the Bavarian outfit this summer, following the appointment of new manager Vincent Kompany.
It is reported that the 24-year-old is intent on a move to Manchester United, with Bayern aware of his desire to leave for the Red Devils. However, whilst negotiations between the two clubs are advancing, there has not yet been an agreement
United have managed to reach a verbal agreement with de Ligt regarding a long-term contract, increasing the chances of a deal being finalised.
The tweet indicates that the Dutchman’s agent Rafaela Pimenta is working on the details of the deal as he looks to help finalise the move. However, with details still needing to be finalised, a medical has not yet been booked.
We need reinforcement on the left side. Can someone clarify the situation with Malacia or even Luke Shaw, who seems to miss half of the team’s matches each season? Additionally, we require a left-footed defender to step in for Lisandro in case of a long-term injury. Who is our number 8 midfielder aside from Mainoo? We should consider signing Fofana or Rabiot, as they bring passion, pace, and ball control, which are essential for thriving in the Premier League. Are our wings and attacking lineup the same as last season?
All 3 players are ideal replacements to varane casemiro martial in terms of their playstyle and experience (de ligt). What is refreshing is seeing them linked to man utd and seemingly wanting man utd despite our new wage structure and struggles of last season. Usually when players want to join man utd its because we have thrown silly wages at them
The news we have gotten recently about United in the last 6 months has been some of the most positive news we have heard about United in years. This restructuring has been put together so quickly that the progress is actually almost too fast. I think that reason makes a part of me agree with you when you say you want more signing however the part of me that disagrees is you do not want to get ahead of yourself because of the positive momentum. 3 signings is a good amount because united also has to think about their reputation. 3 signings is conservative and a lot of our desires for more players could be misplaced due to the number of injuries we have had which left our team feeling permeable. In addition, 3 signings is also 3 risks that has to be balanced out with selling the squad without spreading ourselves to thin. I would rather offset the 3 signings with the sale of players that tarnish their service to the club. Overall, i 3 signings and internal changes have been made and now we take some time to settle and observe so we can see whether we are heading in the right direction should help us carry on enjoying Uniteds growing domination.
This team is better than Last season for sure. But not that significant difference. May be little more consistent. But the wingers will have a say on how we finish in ghe table and and in the Cup Tournaments. Rashford & Garnacho are the keys. Improvement in Both wings are inevitable.
Having de ligt is wild nice move. United need strong mentailty like Vidic and he is just that. Need to make this reality. Zirkzee i see him as CF and he needs to threaten goal and support Holjun so that he can dish out goal . For mid United have potential Mainoo and if Ugante is in there i see plays.
we need 2 centre backs not one. what if martinez or de ligt get injured? who do we have as a backup? maguire? kambwala? evans??
Calafioli for 50m is very good deal at left back and can cover for Licha but first we have to sell shaw.
Dalot de Ligt. Licha Calafioli
This a one hell of a Back Four
I really like Ugarte. Very similar to Kante in style
In my opinion in the defence we need two signings. I prefer DE LIGT and RONALD ARAUJO. R Araujo is finest player for united because he will play right back position as well. He have a leadership quality and very hard working player.
I’m Excited for De Ligt, He would be perfect for this position if he stays healthy.
