Matthijs de Ligt is feeling right at home at Manchester United after his big-money move from Bayern Munich.
Manchester United Football Club made some high profile signings over the summer. Perhaps none more so than Matthijs de Ligt, who arrives at Old Trafford with plenty of pedigree.
The 24-year-old has played for some of the biggest clubs within the sport, with United now set to benefit from his talent and ability. He made just his second start away at Southampton on Saturday, capping off an outstanding Man of the Match appearance with a fantastic goal.
Since that moment, the United summer signing has admitted how much he’s loving life at United, stating he’s ‘enjoying it a lot’ while praising the ‘great group’ of players within the dressing room.
Here’s what Matthijs de Ligt had to say in full here:
“I am enjoying it a lot at Man United”. De Ligt is quoted as saying by Fabrizio Romano. “We have a great group, amazing guys. A lot of young guys who have to grow and want to grow. Hopefully we can get more results like last weekend and grow as a team”.
It feels like De Ligt is definitely enjoying being here at Old Trafford, while hoping to help this club move back into a position where they can regularly challenge for major honours. That’s what’s most important about his addition.
The early signs are certainly positive. He looks comfortable playing at the back alongside Lisandro Martinez, as the pair feel like they complement each other nicely.
De Ligt is someone who’ll be heavily relied upon, though suddenly, United have four brilliant options at the heart of defence. You factor in Harry Maguire and Leny Yoro, the Red Devils have great quality in that area of the field.
The only elephant in the room here is that De Ligt has a somewhat concerning injury record. He did come off against Southampton with a problem, though that has since been confirmed to be cramp. That said, I’d be surprised if he’s invovled against Barnsley tomorrow.
