Vincent Kompany’s Shocking Admission to Matthijs de Ligt Before Man Utd Transfer
It’s no secret that Manchester United needed to bolster their defense this summer, and they’ve certainly done just that with the signing of Matthijs de Ligt from Bayern Munich. But what’s behind the sudden departure of a player who was expected to remain at the Allianz Arena?
According to a recent report, Bayern Munich boss Vincent Kompany made a shocking admission to De Ligt before the Dutch defender completed his move to Manchester United. De Ligt reportedly met with Kompany to discuss his future, as the defender felt like he was being pushed out of the club. And what did Kompany say that led to De Ligt’s decision to leave?
The Claim
Kompany allegedly told De Ligt that he was not responsible for the decision to sell him and that he was his "No 1 defender." But De Ligt’s representatives claim that this was just a smokescreen, and that it was actually the Bayern Munich board who made the call to facilitate his departure. Bayern’s official line is that Kompany was not involved in the decision-making process, but it’s hard not to see some truth to De Ligt’s camp’s claims.
What Does It Mean for De Ligt and Bayern Munich?
So what does this admission mean for De Ligt and Bayern Munich? For De Ligt, it’s a clear indication that he was not part of Kompany’s plans at the club. And for Bayern Munich, it raises serious questions about their decision-making process. If they were so keen to keep De Ligt, why did they allow him to leave so easily?
The Verdict
It’s clear that this is a messy situation, with both parties pointing fingers at each other. But one thing’s for sure: De Ligt’s departure from Bayern Munich is a blow to their defense, and a coup for Manchester United. With De Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui now part of the Red Devils’ backline, they’ve got the makings of a top-notch defense.
