Manchester United is pleased to confirm that Matthijs The Licht has joined the club on condition of registration on the club’s website on the 14th (Korea time). The Dutch national team, The Licht, signed a contract until June 2029, and has the option to extend it for another year.
De Ligt joined his former Munich teammate Mazraoui, who participated in the club’s first training session on the 15th (Korea time) and immediately made a big impression among online fans.
The Licht also explained his reasons for joining the club in an interview with Manchester United’s official website, saying that he would like to make history for the club after moving from Bayern Munich. “I actually really like this project. It’s always nice to go somewhere and feel like part of a new project, feel like part of something new,” The Licht said.
He continued, “I hope that not only me but the other players joining this summer will contribute greatly to Manchester United’s next history and bring the club to the top. Besides that, Manchester United is one of the biggest clubs in the world and an amazing club with an amazing history, numerous amazing players, and amazing defenders.”
He finally said, “I’m really excited. I’ve actually been waiting a long time! I’ve been waiting for the message that the contract has been signed all day long, but it’s finally done. I can’t wait to get started.”
He was already on the bench for the opening match of the Premier League against Fulham. However, the Athletic, a British media outlet, has made several revelations about his departure from Munich.
Bayern Munich’s new manager Kompany reportedly wanted The Ligt to stay in Munich this summer. The Ligt reportedly spoke with Kompany about his place in the Bayern squad, and was assured by him that he is the best defender of the season. In fact, Kompany wanted The Ligt to stay, but Bayern’s top management did not want to hold On to The Ligt and reportedly decided to proceed with the sale.
The Athletic also reported that The Ligt’s camp felt Bayern Munich were playing a game with them during talks between Bayern and his aides about The Ligt’s future. High-ranking Bayern officials clearly intended to sell The Ligt and did not seriously engage in talks with The Ligt about a potential stay.
Having started on the bench against Fulham last weekend, De Ligt has trained only once or twice since arriving in Manchester. However, against Brighton this weekend, he has the potential to play at the heart of his defence along with Lisandro Martinez.
