Matthijs de Ligt Reveals Why He Signed for Manchester United
Matthijs de Ligt has revealed his reasons for joining Manchester United in 2024, despite previously playing for top clubs like Bayern Munich.
De Ligt was signed to play a key role in Erik ten Hag's defense, but after his arrival, Rúben Amorim took over as head coach. Under Amorim, de Ligt has become a crucial part of the defense, alongside his former Bayern Munich teammate Noussair Mazraoui.
This season, de Ligt has played in various positions, including the center of defense and the right of the back three. He can also play on the left, but Luke Shaw currently occupies that spot.
De Ligt was once considered one of the best prospects in European football and had been linked to United several times before his 2024 transfer.
