Matthijs de Ligt has expressed his desire to play under managers who truly want him and within an attacking system amid links of a transfer to Manchester United.
De Ligt, 24, is one of the top targets for United, and there are rumours that a summer move reuniting him with his ex-manager from Ajax may be in the offing, reports the Mirror.
The Dutch defender moved from Juventus to Bayern Munich on a significant contract just two years ago, after spending three years at the Turin-based club.

In a conversation with ESPN post his switch to Bayern, De Ligt offered some insights into what draws him to a club, having discussed the importance of a club's administration showing strong interest in acquiring his services and the sporting philosophy adopted by the team. "First of all that the club wants you is obviously a big thing, I think the board really showed me that they wanted me to become a player of Bayern Munich that also says a lot for me because it's really important," he stated in 2022. "I think the club suits me really well, I think it's offensive football, hard training [and] high intensity, I think that's something that I really search [for] in a club and that's perfectly in my world." United's Adidas home shirt is made up of the same colour of the city's iconic red rose and features a black collar.
