Manchester United 'seriously considering move for Matthijs de Ligt'... with Erik ten Hag earmarking the Bayern Munich star as a potential addition for his new-look defence

Manchester United are reportedly 'seriously considering' a move to sign Matthijs de Ligt this summer.

De Ligt arrived at Bayern Munich in a £68m deal in 2022 but was limited to just 16 league starts last season as they failed to win the league for the first time in over a decade.

United were linked with the defender back in January after reports from Germany suggested the Dutchman wasn't entirely happy with his situation at Bayern.

According to a report from The Athletic, the club have since reignited their interest in the 24-year-old though discussions between the two clubs over a potential deal are yet to have taken place.
