Manchester United Will Complete De Ligt Transfer After Euro 2024

JAKARTA - Manchester United have reached an agreement with Matthijs de Ligt. The completion of the transfer is planned to be carried out after Euro 2024.

Bayern Munich agreed to receive 40 million pounds from the Red Devils for De Ligt's purchase.

Manchester United manager, Erik ten Hag, previously worked with the 24-year-old while still in Ajax Amsterdam.

De Ligt's purchase was deemed appropriate because the centre-back was a big problem for United last season. Ten Hag was forced to shift Casemiro to fill the heart of the defense.

In addition, Ten Hag also handed over 15 starters at the center-back post to 36-year-old Jonny Evans in the Premier League last season.

De Ligt is no longer the main choice at Bayern Munich. Therefore, negotiations with Manchester United were not difficult.

Moreover, Ten Hag has services for De Ligt. The coach is the person who gave him the opportunity to enter the first team when he was a teenager. The center back also turned out to be a big fan of Ten Hag.

He is predicted to keep the Red Devils backline safe in a duet with another former Ajax mainstay player, Leandro Martinez.

"He (Ten Hag) is someone who loves his job and he likes to work. He wants to do everything to make his team play better."

"He is very concerned about the details. This makes him a very good coach in developing players."

"He has a lot of quality for success and we have to see how it develops," said De Ligt.

Matthijs de Ligt's move to Old Trafford will be completed after Euro 2024. You see, the 24-year-old is currently still defending the Netherlands who will appear in the quarter-finals against Turkey on Sunday, July 7, 2024.
