The Red Devils missed out on their No.1 target.
Matthijs de Ligt was announced as a new signing on Tuesday Manchester United’s new signing Matthijs de Ligt is ‘better value’ than the other defender the club tried to sign this summer, Rio Ferdinand has insisted. The Red Devils have brought in De Ligt from Bayern Munich in a deal worth €50m but their No.1 defensive target was actually Jarrad Branthwaite.
I don’t want to sign loads of them, but it’s good to have the odd player who has a lot of prove. ‘He’s done a fair bit in his career but He hasn’t pinned down being the main man at another club after Ajax just yet. Can he do that here at Manchester United?’ Branthwaite, meanwhile, has massively impressed at Everton since breaking into the first-team XI, with the England international having made 54 appearances to date.
