Even although the Dutch media is now accepting the concept that Matthijs de Ligt might be part of Manchester United this summer time, there are some attention-grabbing ideas about it.
With the De Telegraaf at this time reporting the Red Devils’ efforts to land the Bayern Munich defender, the transfer was at this time a topic within the Kick-Off podcast.
In quotes introduced through MSN, Mike Verweij, who broke the information for De Telegraph, was the primary to make some feedback on the likelihood, claiming that the switch might be good for each Manchester United and de Ligt.
“I don’t foresee any problems in that. De Ligt should be able to come out of that. He probably also wants to leave Bayern Munich, because the prospects there are a bit less anyway.”
“De Ligt did a great six months, but they would obviously rather lose him. Of course it says everything that he didn’t make it in Munich either and the same goes for his time at Juventus. Now then with Ten Hag hopefully we will get to see the old De Ligt there. I think it will be good for him, but I do think it’s a sign of weakness from Ten Hag.
“He now keeps coming back to guys he has worked with. And he also wants Frenkie de Jong. He keeps going back to that year of success.”
Earlier on Monday, Sky Deutschland journalist Florian Plettenberg claimed that Bayern Munich have set a worth for the centre-back’s sale, as they need a minimum of €50m plus bonuses.
Since we’re nonetheless early within the switch window, it wouldn’t be a shock if Manchester United can get the switch accomplished for much less.
However, it appears they’re nonetheless to put their first bid.
