Paper Talk: Ten Hag and De Ligt reunion at Manchester United

Matthijs de Ligt’s future at Bayern Munich is back in doubt – putting Manchester United back on red alert.

Matthijs de Ligt has regularly been linked with a move to Manchester United and despite only being 18 months into his career in Germany, his future at Bayern Munich is in increased question, particularly with Thomas Tuchel in situ at the Allianz Arena. As Ten Hag looks towards further strengthening his squad this summer, developments could see growing interest from both parties when it comes to a reunion.

Following a 3-0 defeat to Bayern Leverkusen, De Ligt barely hid his frustrations while sitting on the bench. Post-match, De Ligt couldn’t resist a subtle dig at his manager when asked if he was fit enough to play. “Top fit” came his simple reply.
