Matthijs de Ligt has delivered his first public address since the announcement of his move from Bayern Munich to Manchester United.

Matthijs de Ligt has finalised his £38 million move from Bayern Munich to Old Trafford by signing a five-year deal with Manchester United.

Erik ten Hag, the Dutch coach responsible for training defenders at Ajax, will be reunited with the young player who progressed through their system and established himself as a key member of the starting lineup.

He joins Manchester United at a crucial juncture, where enhancements and bolstering of the defence are necessary.

He will have competition for the centre-back position from Lisandro Martínez, Harry Maguire, Jonny Evans, and Victor Lindelöf. However, there is a possibility that Victor Lindelöf may be traded in the coming days.

During his inaugural address to the club, De Ligt expressed his enthusiasm upon learning of Manchester United’s interest in him. He eagerly embraced the prospect of embarking on a fresh and demanding journey with such a prestigious and storied club.

“During the subsequent discussions, I was greatly impressed by the football leadership’s vision and the specific role they envisioned for me within it.”

“Erik ten Hag played a significant role in the initial development of my career, thus he possesses the expertise to optimise my performance.” I possess the knowledge and skills necessary to achieve success at the most advanced level.

He is anticipated to be accessible later this week when Manchester United welcomes Fulham during the inaugural day of the Premier League season at Old Trafford.
