Bayern Munich Fans Protest Matthijs de Ligt's Move to Manchester United

Fans Start Petition to Keep Defender at Club

Over 60,000 Signatures Gathered in Protest

Bayern Munich fans have expressed their outrage over the proposed move of defender Matthijs de Ligt to Manchester United by starting an online petition to block the transfer. The petition, which has already gathered over 60,000 signatures, highlights de Ligt's status as a world-class defender and argues that his departure would be a major loss for the club.

The petition is a clear indication of the depth of feeling among Bayern fans about the potential departure of de Ligt. The 22-year-old Dutch international has been a key player for the club since joining from Juventus in 2019, and his departure would be a major blow to Julian Nagelsmann's team.

It is unclear at this stage whether the petition will have any impact on de Ligt's decision, but it is a clear indication of the strength of feeling among Bayern fans about the potential move.
