Matthijs de Ligt Reveals Why He Signed for Manchester United
Matthijs de Ligt has shared his reasons for joining Manchester United in 2024, despite previously playing for top clubs like Bayern Munich.
De Ligt was initially signed to play a key role in Erik ten Hag's defense, but after Rúben Amorim's appointment as head coach, his role evolved.
He has become a crucial part of Amorim's defense, alongside former Bayern Munich teammate Noussair Mazraoui, playing in various positions, including center and right of the back three.
De Ligt's versatility has been valuable, as he can also play on the left of the back three, although Luke Shaw currently occupies that position.
At 26 years old, de Ligt was once considered one of Europe's best prospects and had been linked to United several times before finally joining in 2024.
