Transfers gossip reports that Manchester United is now in the lead in the competition to sign Matthijs de Ligt, the defender for Bayern Munich.
Although Arsenal, United’s Premier League opponent, has entered the competition to recruit the Dutch center back, the Red Devils are still in the lead.
After dropping out of the Allianz Arena’s starting lineup, De Ligt plans to depart the German champions at the end of the current campaign.
Thomas Tuchel has preferred a center-back combination of Kim Min-jae and Dayot Upamecano this season. De Light didn’t play in Bayern’s 3-0 loss to Leverkusen as a substitute.
As to Sky Germany, De Ligt is not totally satisfied with his current position at Bayern, and the formerly Ajax captain is currently feeling unsettled in Munich. Although there has been internal talk about De Ligt at Arsenal, neither the player nor Bayern Munich have been contacted by the Gunners.
Ten Hag, who worked with the Netherlands international during his time at Ajax, would prefer to bring him to Old Trafford this summer, as Man Utd is ready to bring in a new center-back in 2024.
