Manchester United Close In on Matthijs de Ligt Signing

50m Deal Agreed with Bayern Munich

Ten Hag Hails De Ligt as Potential World's Best Defender

Manchester United are on the verge of completing a 50 million pound deal for Bayern Munich center-back Matthijs de Ligt, according to multiple reports. The move will reunite the 24-year-old Dutchman with his former Ajax manager, Erik ten Hag, who has spoken highly of de Ligt's potential.

Ten Hag previously suggested that de Ligt could become the world's best defender. The center-back has impressed in the Bundesliga since joining Bayern in 2022, helping the club win the league title in his first season.

De Ligt's arrival at United would be a significant boost to the team's defense, which has been a problem area in recent seasons. The Dutchman is known for his physicality, aerial ability, and passing range.
