Manchester United are banking heavily on Leny Yoro, who was transferred from Lille this summer. But for now, the young French defender (18 years old) is not very useful to the Red Devils, on the sidelines for about three months following an injury he sustained 8 days ago during a friendly match lost against Arsenal (1-2) in the United States. A real blow that would revive the Matthijs de Ligt trail.
The Bayern Munich central defender would have the ideal profile to fill Yoro’s absence, especially since the Dutch international is not against joining the Premier League club, indicate the English media. Questioned on the subject, the sporting director of the German club does not exclude this possibility either.
De Ligt would reunite with Ten Hag
“I will comment on this when the time comes. It is not yet the time, Max Eberl told Sky Sports. “But you have to think about how you make the decision and what the player feels. De Ligt is still a Bayern player. And as long as he is, he will have our full support.”
Matthijs de Ligt, 24, has been playing for Bayern Munich since the summer of 2022. He played at Ajax (until 2019) under Erik ten Hag, the current manager of Manchester United. Another reason why his profile fits in with the Red Devils’ expectations.
