Erik ten Hag, the manager of Manchester United, has acknowledged the club’s interest in signing Matthijs de Ligt from Bayern Munich. However, he insisted that United’s attraction to Dutch players is merely a coincidence. This summer, United has already made signings like Leny Yoro and Joshua Zirkzee. United is currently discussing the possibility of signing multiple center-backs, with Jarrad Branthwaite from Everton being of interest. Ten Hag emphasized that player signings are a joint decision between himself and the club’s recruitment team. The manager believes that United is moving in the right direction.
