It appears that Manchester will be welcoming more than one celebrity named De Ligt this summer. An international center back from the Netherlands is about to become a fixture at Old Trafford, and his beautiful new wife is also planning to make an appearance there.

United have signed 25-year-old Matthijs de Ligt and his partner Anne Kee to a four-year contract after he moved there for £38.5 million from Bayern Munich.

With over 434,000 Instagram followers, the 24-year-old is already famous.As a model, Annekeen was the star of many picture sessions for international publications. Following her success at the Wilma agency, she made headlines in September 2019 when she appeared on the cover of Vogue magazine’s Dutch edition.

Annekee has become an Internet influencer thanks to her fame and online presence. Her prominence has grown when she began dating her husband in 2018, while he was still at Ajax. However, she had a solid grasp of Dutch football at that point.

A professional footballer, her dad Keje Molenaar had a career with Ajax, Feyenoord, and two international caps. Jip Molenaar, her brother, played for Eintracht Frankfurt while he was a young player and is now an amateur for the Dutch club DVVA.The football connections that AneeKee has don’t stop there, either. Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag and club fans will be intrigued by her unique bond.

Mikey Kiemeney is friends with Frenkie de Jong’s (a Barcelona star) girlfriend, Mrs. De Ligt. Had the 27-year-old not been sidelined by an injury, the two buddies would have most definitely been cheering one other on in Germany at Euro 2024.

After taking over in 2022, De Jong was Ten Hag’s top goal, but despite a summer-long pursuit, a move never came to fruition. The Dutchman allegedly refused to waive money owed to him by the Spanish club, which ultimately led to the deal falling through.His current deal ends in 2026, so by next summer, rumors will certainly be ramping up once again. United may have found the ideal intermediary to entice the footballer and his partner to join them in Manchester.

It has been quite a summer for the De Ligts. Their wedding preparations had to be scrapped since Bayern could be involved in the Champions League final at Wembley. The couple instead tied the knot in a civil ceremony that was planned last minute; however, the defender had to immediately return to the Netherlands camp to prepare for a warm-up match against Iceland for Euro 2024, so that idea never came to fruition.
