De Ligt gives green light to join Man Utd

Matthijs de Ligt has for some time now been hinting at a dissatisfaction that suggests he will trigger his departure from Bayern Munich this summer. Already midway through the season, the international press leaked that Manchester United were interested in him. Now Fabrizio Romano claims that the Dutchman has given the green light to his agent, Rafaela Pimenta, to negotiate with the Old Trafford offices.
The Allianz Arena club will give the go-ahead to his departure because they hope to acquire the services of Jonathan Tah from Bayer Leverkusen. According to the journalist's account mentioned in the previous paragraph, the Germany international is eager to join Vincent Kompany's project, where he should be able to fight for an important position from his first days.
His counterpart in the Netherlands will be battling for a similar role with Erik ten Hag, which could push Harry Maguire to the bench. The 'Red Devils' came to the brink of a return to the European top flight after the 22-23 season, but the most recent season witnessed a downward spiral much feared by the fans, as it implies a renewed state of instability in the 'Theater of Dreams'.
Curiously, Matthijs de Ligt is still unhappy at Bayern Munich because his friction with the club came about more as a result of his relationship with Thomas Tuchel. The German coach has now left the club, so opportunities are opening up for the 24-25 season, but not for nothing has the former Juventus man been seen as willing to give this stage of his career another chance.
