Bundesliga star who Erik ten Hag wanted to sign two years ago has told friends he wants Man United move

Manchester United have made some big moves in the summer transfer window.

Along with adding some excellent players, the Red Devils were also able to release several players who were overutilized by the team.

The Premier League’s biggest clubs have managed to let go of players like as Mason Greenwood, Willy Kambwala, Donny van de Beek, and a few others, while also adding defender Leny Yoro and attacker Joshua Zirkzee.

Anthony Martial and Raphael Varane departed the team when their Old Trafford contracts expired.

It’s no longer a secret that Man United is interested in Matthijs de Ligt, a defender for Bayern Munich.

Football Insider reports that the athlete has now informed his buddies that he intends to sign with Erik ten Hag’s squad for the summer.

The Dutch international defender has been pursued by the Red Devils all summer, but they have not succeeded.

Man United boss ten Hag has confirmed in an interview with AD Sportwereld that he wanted to sign de Ligt, the player he managed at Ajax, two years ago at Old Trafford.

He said:

” I wanted to sign him two years ago but at that time he was already very far along to join Bayern Munich but believe it or not, his name did not come from me in the process [at United].”

The manager has made it clear that it is the decision of the recruitment team to sign the Bayern Munich defender this summer.

The player has made his desire clear to join the Premier League club this summer and he is excited to play under his former manager.

The defender enjoyed a successful relationship with ten Hag at Ajax where the pair won several trophies together.

Man United want to sign the centre-back to make him a part of their revamp in defense as the club hierarchy is prepared to address the issues facing the squad
