Numerous reports indicate that Manchester United is seriously contemplating acquiring Bayern Munich center-back Matthijs de Ligt. Widely recognized as Bayern Munich's top defender over his two seasons with the club, De Ligt has unexpectedly become unwelcome in Bavaria due to his high salary and head coach Vincent Kompany’s reported preference for other central defenders over the Dutchman. As a result, Bayern Munich might be on the verge of losing one of their best players from the past two seasons.
