This timing is crucial as it allows him to participate in Manchester United's opening Premier League match against Fulham on Friday.

Previous Connections

Matthijs de Ligt has an established connection with Manchester United's coach, Erik ten Hag, from their time together at Ajax, where they triumphed in the Eredivisie in 2019.
