Is De Ligt a risk worth considering?

Manchester United’s top priority this summer seems to be bringing in a new centre-back to Old Trafford. The club has been linked to players such as Jarrad Branthwaite, Jean-Clair Todibo, and Lenny Yoro, but their pursuit of Bayern Munich’s Matthijs de Ligt is the most advanced.

At just 24 years old, de Ligt is already experienced and successful, having played for top European clubs like Ajax, Juventus, and Bayern Munich. He has won numerous trophies and has represented his country in three major tournaments.

De Ligt’s time at Ajax, especially under the management of current United boss Erik ten Hag, is what he is most famous for. He captained Ajax to a league and cup double in 2019 and was a key player in their impressive Champions League run to the semi-finals.

Given the strong relationship and trust between de Ligt and ten Hag from their time at Ajax, it is likely that the manager would be eager for a reunion with the defender in Manchester this summer.
