Matthijs, a transfer target for Manchester United, has received praise from Rasmus Hojlund amidst rumors that the Bayern Munich defender will be heading to Old Trafford.
Erik ten Hag is eager to bolster his defense after learning that he will have at least one more season as manager.
Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof have uncertain futures, and Raphael Varane has already left after his contract ended.
Seasoned center-half A new one-year contract with Jonny Evans is rumored to be in negotiations, while Willy Kambwala, a rookie, made an impression in his breakout year.
Lisandro Martinez will hopefully get over the fitness issues that have plagued his first two years at United but the Argentina international aside, Ten Hag lacks top class defensive options.
United have already had a £45 million offer turned down by Everton for Jarrad Branthwaite this month, but the club have also held internal talks over a deal for De Ligt.
The Netherlands international fell out of favour last season under Thomas Tuchel and it remains to be seen whether or not he will form a key part of Vincent Kompany’s plans.
Given their meagre transfer budget, United will likely struggle to meet Bayern’s reported €50m asking price, but Hojlund would welcome the presence of another player who worked with Ten Hag at Ajax.
“That is unrelated to me.” After Denmark’s loss to Germany in the Euro 2024, the United striker remarked, “I can’t answer that question but he’s a good defender.”
De Ligt, who is with the Netherlands squad for Euro 2024, responded, “I’ve already said this is not the time for me to think about it,” when questioned earlier this month about his future at Bayern.
“It is very important for me and the national team that we are playing at the Euros right now.” I’m unable to comment on this situation at this time because of this reason.
‘But what I can say is that I’ve now played my second season at Bayern – I’m.’
