De Ligt was enquired about his future at Euro 2024 but remained tight-lipped. Speaking in a press conference, he said: “I’ve already said this is not the time for me to think about it.

“We’re playing at the Euros now and that’s very important for me and the national team. That’s why I can’t say now what I think about this situation. But what I can say is that I’ve now played my second season at Bayern – I’m very happy. For now I’m focused on the Euros and then we’ll see what happens.”

Manchester United are looking to revamp their squad amidst the arrival of new ownership and will look bring in more players to build on to decent season last year. Erik ten hag has also called for new coaching staff additions like Ruud van Nistelrooy.
