British media Daily Mail signed a petition on the 5th (Korea time) 'Thousands of Bayern Munich fans signed a petition to stop De Ligt's transfer to Manchester United. Why Bayern Munich will definitely regret it?'
De Licht, born in 1999, is a defensive talent representing the Netherlands. He received worldwide attention leading the renaissance of Ajax (the Netherlands). In particular, he took the lead in overcoming Juventus (Italy), which Cristiano Ronaldo was holding out at the time, in the quarterfinals of the European Champions League (UCL) in the 2018-2019 season. He moved to Juventus through the summer 2019 transfer window, and once again moved to Bayern Munich in the summer of 2022.
De Licht also played key for Bayern Munich. However, the atmosphere has changed in the 2023-2024 season. He played in 22 Bundesliga matches in Germany amid rumors of a feud with manager Thomas Tuchel. He is expected to leave Bayern Munich through the transfer window this summer.
Manchester United has emerged as a strong candidate for De Ligt's new destination. 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 took a breather by winning the FA Cup final against Manchester City. Manchester United is set to restore its reputation in the new season. It is trying to strengthen the squad. One of the players Manchester United is watching is De Ligt. De Ligt has previous experience leading Ten Hag and 'Renaissance' at Ajax.

A petition from Bayern Munich fans read 'We want De Ligt to stay in Bayern Munich. He's the best on the team. He is a world-class defender. He has a bright future. Also, the ability to speak English, German, and Dutch fluently will help a lot. Selling De Ligt would be a terrible decision. We will certainly regret it. You shouldn't make such a mistake. 'Using our voices to call attention...' it reads.
De Licht played 73 games in Bayern Munich.
