Matthijs de Ligt Throws Shade at Bayern Munich, Highlights Perks of Manchester United Move

Matthijs de Ligt made his first start for Manchester United in the recent 0-3 loss against Liverpool, and despite the disappointing result, he stood out as one of the few bright spots on the field. His sharp reading of the game and assertive defending have already established him as a first-choice center-back alongside Lisandro Martinez.

His recent comments are sure to further endear him to Manchester United fans. It’s well-known that Bayern Munich supporters were unhappy about his departure, as they viewed De Ligt as the club’s best center-back. However, the Bayern board didn’t share this sentiment and almost forced him out, leaving many fans frustrated.

Always a consummate professional, De Ligt handled the situation gracefully and moved to Manchester United, where he was promised a more significant role. Speaking to the press after recently featuring in the Netherlands’ 5-2 win over Bosnia, De Ligt hinted at his dissatisfaction with Bayern, stating he is “happy” with his move to United. He noted that playing in the Premier League, which has a larger global audience, keeps him more visible and enhances his chances of being considered for the national team. This was particularly pertinent given that he struggled to secure a spot in the national squad during the Euros while at Bayern.

De Ligt’s words clearly resonate with his new club’s philosophy, especially given United’s recent focus on recruiting players who genuinely want to play for the team, moving away from the so-called “mercenary” approach. At just 24, with an impressive pedigree in world football, De Ligt seems to be an ideal fit for United.

The Dutchman’s partnership with Martinez is expected to flourish as they continue to play together, bolstered by the presence of Manuel Ugarte behind them. For De Ligt, who has already achieved significant success, the move to Manchester United offers a win-win situation—strengthening his on-field contributions while bringing leadership and professionalism to the dressing room.
