Man Utd in talks over transfer of Bundesliga star but Premier League man could still be targeted as well

Manchester United are reportedly in talks over the potential transfer of Bayern Munich defender Matthijs de Ligt, but it’s independent to their pursuit of Everton’s Jarrad Branthwaite for that position as well.

That’s according to a report from The Athletic as they provide their update on De Ligt and Man Utd, while we reported earlier today that the Red Devils are now at an advanced stage of their pursuit of the Netherlands international, and of his fellow countryman, Bologna forward Joshua Zirkzee.
