Matthijs de Ligt has revealed his reasons for signing with Manchester United in 2024, despite having played for top clubs like Bayern Munich.
De Ligt joined Manchester United to play a key role in Erik ten Hag's defense but soon found himself under new head coach Rúben Amorim.
Despite the change, de Ligt has become a crucial part of Amorim's defense, alongside his former Bayern Munich teammate Noussair Mazraoui.
This season, de Ligt has demonstrated his versatility by playing in the center of defense and on the right of the back three when Harry Maguire starts.
De Ligt has played for "the biggest clubs in the world" and was once considered one of the best prospects in European football.
Now 26 years old, de Ligt has settled into his role at Manchester United, with Luke Shaw currently occupying the left position in the back three.
