According to The Athletic, the 24-year-old has become a real target for United as they want to bolster their defense. Although there have not yet been any transfer talks, Red Devils manager Erik Ten Hag, who coworked with the center-back at Ajax, would be happy to see the player again.

United needs central defense reinforcements after Raphael Varane left as a free agent, especially since Harry Maguire and Lisandro Martinez had missed seasons due to injury. De Ligt, according to the source, will be a more practical summer transfer addition than Jarrad Branthwaite of Everton, who may fetch a price tag of over £70 million ($89 million).

The 6′ 2″ player joined Ajax at the start of his career before joining Juventus in 2019. Following three years with the Serie A team, the international player from the Netherlands joined Bayern. He has won titles with each team he has played for in his very brief career.

In the upcoming weeks, United might pursue negotiations, but De Ligt is now in Germany with the Netherlands team for Euro 2024. In the Dutch defensive hierarchy, Virgil van Dijk and Stefan de Vrij are ahead of him.
