Manchester United, led by head coach Erik ten-Hach, ranked eighth in the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2023-2024 season with 18 wins, 6 draws and 14 losses (60 points). He was eliminated early in the Carabao Cup and the European Champions League (UCL). At least, he won the FA Cup final by beating Manchester City with a 'regional rival' and building his pride. After winning the FA Cup, Manchester United also confirmed its accompanying coach Ten Hag. Coach Ten Hag is trying to strengthen his squad ahead of the new season.
Citing a report by journalist Fabrizio Romano familiar with the transfer market, The Sun said 'Manchester United have given the green light to sign Zirkjay and De Ligt.

The Sun has made it clear that 'De Licht only wants to transfer to Manchester United. He rejected the interest of Liverpool (England) and Paris Saint-Germain (France). United will sign De Ligt to a five-year deal. The transfer fee is around £42 million. De Ligt shared the same team with Ten Hag when he was playing for Ajax (the Netherlands).
