Now playing in England
De Ligt taunts the league after leaving Bayern
Although Matthijs de Ligt said he had always felt comfortable at FC Bayern, he has now claimed to be happy with his move to Manchester United. The main reason he gave was the greater fan interest on the island.
"I'm happy because I remain in the limelight ... the Premier League has more spectators, the Bundesliga less," De Ligt teased after Holland's Nations League victory over Bosnia-Herzegovina (5:2) against the German top flight.
Although the games in Munich's Allianz Arena (75,000) are better attended on average than those at Old Trafford Stadium (73,500), the defender is convinced that more people are interested in soccer in England as a whole.
False start in the Premier League
De Ligt moved from FC Bayern to the Red Devils this summer for 45 million euros (plus bonuses). De Ligt has featured in three Premier League games so far, although the start to the season has not gone to plan. With just three points to their name, Manchester United are currently 14th in the table.
