They did not want to go and risk getting injured just incase Ten Hag and United came calling.
We're still 'monitoring' this?!
So the interest on this one is indeed real

That is not „stereotypical injury prone“ as you called it. You might want to check the definition. Last year wasn‘t good but the two years before he missed 7 games in total.
The long injury at Juve was a shoulder dislocation. Hardly a reoccuring worry.
He is entering his prime and is a good to great CB. His wages are (very) high but Bayern is reasonable when it comes to fees.
It would suck to see him leave. He was Bayern‘s best defender last season. It seems Bayern wants/needs the fee and Kompany prefers other CBs.
Ornstein bomba 
Of course, ETH would bring De Ligt and Frenkie even if they came rolling in a wheelchair.
We never learn.
Incoming "I told you all, ETH is still in charge of recruitment" posts
Important to note that Ornstein says De Ligt is independent to the Branthwaite move which again confirms that we're after two centre backs.
Didn't see those posts in the Brathwaite or Ugarte threads
Massive wages, couldn’t cement himself into a defence that had Eric Dier in it and injury prone. Sounds like the perfect United signing.
42m seems a fair deal for a 24 year old in this market.
His wages will be extortionate and he has been a flop at Bayern. That is way above market value imo.
Good, I think he'll surprise a lot of people, he has a very high floor.
We're such mugs. 
More extortionate than what we’ve paid for the likes of Sanchez, DDG, and Rashford in recent years? What’s he on at Bayern ?
Yes let’s keep making the same mistake then
He's on around 350k per week apparently. Also shouldn't we be learning from those mistakes?
We should from stuff like that. If we give him crazy wages nothing will change.
We would be his 4th club and he is only 24y. He is probably high maintance.
You say it like there's no evidence it's indeed the case?
Is this evidence in the room with us right now?
I am more worried about his latest injuries.
We have had more than enough injuries last season..
Is it just me or is Ornstein posting a lot of 'possibles' compared to his usual factual reporting
Yeah let’s go for another player who’s not been that good, has a recent injury record and a top club are willing to let go.
That was my impression but there's a Bayern fan here who has watched him far more than us who is saying otherwise.
I find it underwhelming all the same.
Its okay lads. He has good stats on Football Manager.
Yeah it’s just so on brand for us.
I think he'd do really well here if he manages to stay consistently fit. I think he's getting a bit underrated on here at the mo.
Of course £350k or so wages have to be a no go, if thats an accurate figure. When has anyone on a mega contract with us done well?

It does feel that way. Normally he's breaking the done dealios before Romano
For once can we listen to our scouts.
I'm all for this. Right center back, still young but tons of experience and a leader, physical has all the traits we need in that role... Negative would be kind of an injury concern? But profile wise he absolutely fits next to Martinez.
This one is only 24 rather than the usual 30 year olds. This one to me is more "Robben/Sneijder leaving Madrid" than the old guys leaving.
Dont you know? All the posters here are experts on the Bundesliga. Bayern fans might claim that de Ligt is their best defender but what do they know? The real experts on German football and de Ligt are on this website!
Pretty sure this is just noise to show Everton we have alternatives.
I have a feeling this will happen, to be honest. At least a decent, potentially a great RCB option if we can get him for a reasonable fee, and it would allow us to add one more centre back this summer.
