This summer, De Ligt has been strongly linked to a move to United, and rumors have it that the Red Devils have put in two bids for both the right-back Noussair Mazraoui and the Netherlands international. However, it is not believed that the center defender is close to joining Old Trafford, as he has now resumed training with the Bavarian powerhouses ahead of the season.Fans pleaded with De Ligt to stay in Germany after he shared a collage of images from his workouts on Instagram.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Don’t leave Bayern and waste your career at Mun (sic),” said @im_ayushsingh.

Says @boenebehm: “Please, be my man. Here, we adore you.”

Added by @omar.m7: “Mia san mia forever. Stay with us.

“Stay at Bayern and become a legend here,” said @_no_front.

In addition to expressing several demands for De Ligt to remain, @esmueldert said, “We need you, leader.”With a deal that runs until 2027, De Ligt has been with Bayern since 2022, so the team is not under much pressure to sell. Nonetheless, they seem to be preparing for the worse, as they have pursued a contract to recruit Jonathan Tah as a possible substitute.United, who lost Leny Yoro to injury following his debut in a preseason friendly, will be looking to add a new defender soon. Whether De Ligt will be that defender is still up in the air.
