In an exciting development for Manchester United fans, the club has successfully reached an agreement with Matthijs de Ligt for his transfer to Old Trafford. The negotiations, which have been ongoing for the past week, have resulted in personal terms being agreed upon and a contract being finalized.

The Red Devils have also been in discussions with Bayern Munich regarding the transfer fee for the talented Dutchman. The latest updates reveal that Man Utd has agreed to a deal worth £86.2 million with the Bavarian giants to secure the services of the highly sought-after central defender.

The agreement between Manchester United and Bayern Munich entails a payment of £42 million in installments. This substantial investment highlights the club’s belief in De Ligt’s abilities and the significant role they envision him playing in their future success.

Furthermore, the Red Devils have also reached a separate agreement with De Ligt himself, ensuring that the player will earn a weekly wage of £170,000. This lucrative deal extends over the next five years, with a total value of £44.2 million until 2029.

With the signing of Joshua Zirkzee already confirmed, De Ligt is set to become the second key addition to Erik ten Hag’s squad during this summer transfer window. Ten Hag, being familiar with De Ligt’s exceptional qualities from their time together at Ajax, is eager to reunite with the central defender.

De Ligt’s leadership skills were evident during his time at Ajax, where he played a pivotal role in the team’s triumphs over renowned clubs such as Juventus and Real Madrid in the Champions League.

While his performances at Juventus and Bayern may not have consistently showcased his full potential, Manchester United sees immense potential in harnessing his talents and providing the platform for him to shine.

The acquisition of De Ligt represents an exciting new chapter for Manchester United as they continue to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season.

United fans are still eagerly anticipating the impact that this promising addition will have on their team’s fortunes.
