Dutch center-back Matthijs de Ligt, currently playing for Manchester United, has spoken about his arrival at the club and the expectations that come with wearing the shirt of one of the giants of world football. Despite his coach, Erik ten Hag, playing a significant role in his signing, De Ligt emphasized that it was not the only reason for joining Old Trafford.

"Ten Hag was not the only reason I decided to come to United," De Ligt explained in a recent interview. "We are talking about Manchester United, one of the biggest clubs in the world." The player wanted to make it clear that the team's history and prestige heavily influenced his decision, beyond the presence of his compatriot on the sidelines.

Manchester United, a club with history

The winning tradition of Manchester United, which has won numerous titles both in England and in Europe, brings with it great pressure, something De Ligt acknowledges. "People are used to seeing United win, it's part of their history, and that carries enormous responsibility," commented the defender. This pressure not only affects the fans but also the players themselves, who are aware of the high expectations.

De Ligt, known for his defensive solidity and leadership at a young age, joined Manchester United with the intention of helping to bring the team back to the top of English and European football. However, he is aware that meeting expectations in a club of this magnitude is not an easy task. "We feel that pressure to win ourselves," he admitted, reflecting the responsibility they have as part of a team with such a great legacy.
