They are unique for our system, have a lot of positive traits, and enjoy playing football, therefore they will demonstrate that rapidly. I’m excited to play with Matthijs because I believe he will bring a big attitude to the team. He plays from the back and defends high.

De Ligt and Mazraoui may make their Premier League debuts on Friday when United plays Fulham, since the Red Devils are worried about many defensive injuries. Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia, two full-backs, are also out for about three months, along with Yoro.

I was excited about the chance for a fresh challenge at such a famous club as soon as I heard that Manchester United wanted me,” De Ligt told club media. “I was impressed by the football leadership’s vision and the part they saw for me in it in the conversations that followed.”

“I can’t wait to work with Erik ten Hag again because he helped shape the early phases of my career and he knows how to get the best out of me.” I’m committed to maintain my record of success at this unique club because I know what it takes to be successful at the greatest level.

“Being a Manchester United player is an amazing feeling, and I can’t wait to leave Old Trafford wearing the red shirt,” Mazraoui continued. I can tell that I’m joining the club at an exciting time since everyone I’ve spoken to wants us to win trophies together, and I have the willpower to make it happen.

As I approach my prime playing years, it is great to be reuniting with Erik ten Hag, who had a significant role in my growth as a player. I am aware of his expectations for his players, and I will do everything in my power to support the team’s success.
