Manchester United completes the signing of the most important player in Europe, salary structure approved,player to wear Iconic Jersey number as medical will be done today.
Manchester United has made a major move by signing one of Europe’s top emerging talents. The club has finalized the contract details, including the player’s salary, and the new recruit is set to undergo a medical examination today. This signing could potentially reunite Manchester United’s manager, Erik ten Hag, with Matthijs de Ligt. The Dutch center-back, who was previously coached by ten Hag at Ajax, is reportedly close to joining Manchester United. The Daily Record’s latest edition has highlighted this potential reunion with the headline, “Ten Hag close to reunion.”
Initially, Manchester United’s offer for De Ligt was turned down by Bayern Munich, who value the player at around £42.9 million. Bayern is also reportedly nearing a deal for German international Jonathan Tah from Bayer Leverkusen, though this deal depends on De Ligt’s departure.
According to the German publication Bild, Bayern Munich is under pressure to sell players during the current transfer window. The report suggests that De Ligt could be one of the players on the way out, with the club potentially considering lowering their initial asking price of £42.9 million (€50 million) to facilitate the transfer.
As FA Cup winners, Manchester United is preparing to face Premier League champions Manchester City in the upcoming Community Shield. However, Ten Hag will be without new center-back Leny Yoro, who is out for several months due to injury.
With Yoro unavailable, the urgency to complete De Ligt’s transfer has increased, and Ten Hag is eager to finalize the deal to bolster the team’s defense. De Ligt is expected to undergo his medical today, and once the deal is completed, he will be officially presented as Manchester United’s newest player, likely taking on a significant jersey number at the club.
