Ten Hag Gives Transfer Update to Young Fan; Manchester United Pursuit of De Ligt Heating Up
Manchester United’s Erik ten Hag appears to be taking fan engagement to the next level. During a recent media interaction, a young fan asked Ten Hag directly about the club’s transfer plans, and the Dutch manager’s response was music to the ears of Red Devils’ supporters worldwide.
The fan took the opportunity to ask Ten Hag if Matthijs de Ligt would be joining the team soon. De Ligt’s services have been highly sought after all summer, and United have emerged as serious contenders for the young defender. Ten Hag simply replied, "You want him?"
Well, fans want him, and rightly so! De Ligt’s talent is undeniable, and a partnership between him and Leny Yoro at the back would offer a formidable shield for United’s fragile defense.
As reported earlier this week, signing Yoro had raised doubts about United’s interest in signing De Ligt. However, Ten Hag has reassured fans that the signing of the Portuguese defender hasn’t made De Ligt off the agenda. In fact, the manager has also revealed that De Ligt would be an excellent addition to his starting lineup, highlighting their past collaboration at Ajax.
It would be fascinating to see how both Yoro and De Ligt would adapt to Ten Hag’s setup. Both defenders possess exceptional positional awareness and leadership qualities, which are essential for the Manchester United back four.
With Bayern Munich’s Matthijs de Ligt lingering on United’s radar, rumors are mounting that a deal could finally be close. Ten Hag acknowledged the strong bond he shared with De Ligt, having worked alongside him at Ajax. Although he mentioned it was a coincidence that so many players from the Netherlands are attracting interest from United, it wouldn’t surprise anyone if De Ligt makes the switch to Old Trafford.
For now, fans will remain anxious, eager to see where this tantalizing transfer soap opera takes us. Will Bayern Munich allow De Ligt to join his former Ajax mate Ten Hag? Only time will tell. Until then, we encourage you to join the conversation and provide your thoughts on who you think United’s next signing should be.
