‘No doubt’ player will join Manchester United – ‘very constructive’ talks to find deal

It is claimed that the Premier League side are ready to offer €50m and need to work out the details of the deal.

Erik ten Hag’s team and the Bavarian club must agree on the fixed amount, bonuses and most importantly the payment method (number of years to pay back the deal).

Manchester United wanted to secure the move for the Netherlands international at the weekend. That hasn’t happened, but Fussball News says the delay “leaves no one in doubt” as to which deal will go through to take the player to Old Trafford.

The report claims that the transfer could be completed in the “coming days”, most likely after the financial details are settled between Manchester United and Bayern Munich.

On Sunday, Ten Hag’s side completed the signing of Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna. De Ligt is set to join his compatriot soon in England.
