Manchester United are eyeing a potential summer transfer for Bayern Munich’s Matthijs de Ligt.

Although formal negotiations have not started, United’s manager Erik Ten Hag, who previously coached de Ligt at Ajax, is eager for a reunion.
Following Raphael Varane’s departure as a free agent, United need to bolster their central defense, especially with Harry Maguire and Lisandro Martinez facing injury setbacks this season.

Standing at 6ft 2in, de Ligt began his career at Ajax before moving to Juventus in 2019.
After three years in Serie A, the Dutch international joined Bayern Munich.
Throughout his career, he has secured titles with every team he has played for.
