De Ligt, who moved to Manchester United (hereinafter referred to as Manchester United), said goodbye to Bayern Munich.
Manchester United announced the signing of De Ligt. De Ligt signed a contract until 2029 with Manchester United assigned No. 4.
De Ligt said on his SNS account after the announcement of his transfer to Manchester United, "Thank you to each and every Bayern Munich fan. I had an amazing two years with a beautiful club. It was an honor to play for a club like Bayern Munich. We had unforgettable moments together. We won the title and played several amazing Champions League matches. These memories will be with me forever."
In particular, De Licht said, "It is sweet and bitter to leave Bayern Munich. I will always remember the love and support I received from my teammates, staff, and fans. It touched me a lot that many people petitioned against my transfer. I hope Bayern Munich will win more titles like it always did."
Meanwhile, De Licht has constantly been rumored to be moving to Bayern Munich. De Licht was also angry with Bayern Munich as his transfer to Manchester United was sluggish last month. German media Fusbalupa said, "De Licht got angry with Bayern Munich. Manchester United already offered Bayern Munich 30 million euros and an option of 5 million euros for De Licht's transfer. Bayern Munich demands 50 million euros for De Licht's transfer fee, which really upsets De Licht. De Licht has made it clear to the management of Bayern Munich that he wants to move to Manchester United. The transfer fee that Bayern Munich demanded was too high, and De Licht believed that Bayern Munich promised to lower the transfer fee. However, Bayern Munich broke its promise. 메이저놀이터

I was impressed by the vision that Manchester United offered. Manchester United manager Ten Hach has been with me in the early stages of my career and knows how to bring out the best from me. I am looking forward to being with Ten Hach again. I know what it takes to succeed at the highest level."
Manchester United manager Ashworth said, "De Licht is an outstanding defender and proven player. He will bring experience and leadership to the existing Manchester United squad. De Licht has already achieved considerable success in his career. I am confident that De Licht's heyday is still ahead. I want to help him achieve great success at Manchester United."
