It will be double the salary surely? De Ligt will probably be about £275k and even we aren’t putting Branthwaite on more than £130k (which would still be too high).

We hardly ever know what transfer fees or wages are, it never stops the chat.
We reportedly agreed with Brainthwaite (150/160k week)
De Ligt is not going to get 300k

De Ligt is not going to get 300k infact he is likely going to take a haircut
Come back and quote this when its agreed. As this is what has been supposedly been discussed
Interesting snippet from The Athletic article today:
exactly, why would he move and take a paycut when he's still go 3 years left on his current deal at Bayern?
I'm neither agreeing or disagreeing with you, just laughing about the typo
Surely we can shave a little off the top
I am not convinced. He did not set the world on fire despite the other CBs at Bayern are not that great as well. It seems that he still lives off his great potential and professional attitude but whenever I saw him I was pretty underwhelmed. Solid but not a player who helps transforming the way we play.
If he comes - full support. However, I would be more excited by Branthwaite.

De Ligt is currently on more than £250K a week. You don't think he'd be getting a bump?
Even if it's not exactly, spot on double, the difference over 5 or 6 years would make up for the difference in transfer fees.
I think he can probably afford a haircut now :-). I’d be astonished if DL takes a pay cut. He’s apparently on about £260k, so I would think the lowest would be about £275k.
I doubt we were willing to pay Branthwaite £150k. If we were, I’d be absolutely certain MDL would be getting at least £300k though. That sort of terrible judgement won’t just apply to one transfer.
Because Bayern aren't offering him a short back and sides with a skinfade.
He can have it but it won't make his head any smaller.
Only going off what was reported
He might not need a bump if he is guaranteed football and an extra 2 years on the contract, but I doubt he'd take less.
A lot of people here aren't quite happy with this transfer. Therefore I'm on board, usually when the majority here don't rate the signing he turns out good. Bring him in. 
If he's coming in he's coming in on Varanes wages.
No
We'll never know I guess but players usually get increases when they're part of massive transfers, especially when they're going to Man United.
He doesn’t appear in a position to be demanding a bump in fairness. Imagine he’d be delighted to get a contract on similar wages after a tough last season.
If we sold Rashford or Mount now, they’d be in a similar position, delighted to keep the same wage they currently earn.
I feel like I’ve not watched him since that breakout season at Ajax. Signed him for United a few times on manager mode though.
If we do end up signing him my biggest hope is that he can just remain fit. A bit of fitness and consistency will do wonders for our team regardless of quality.

If new coaches means that the players don't kill themselves in training every week, and the medical team are all chucked into a cannon and fired into the sun, then €30-40M (provided we have a time machine in case he still gets a long term injury) would be a great deal.
This supposed lack of pace is such a myth.
It will not though. Not even close.
I don't think either of them would move anywhere unless they were getting a bump.
We will once he is signed
Why do people talk about wages like its 20 years ago still, the average wage in the PL is what 3.5 mill which is around 75k p/w 130k isn't that much anymore
Share your opinion on Ugarte so I know how to feel about him.
He lives in a treehouse?
Players individual wages are never, ever disclosed. It's all speculation.
So we'll take his speculated wages at Bayern vs his speculated wages at United
I like that the Dutch posters who watch him say he’s quick and not the slow slouch like he’s alleged to be on the caf. And the Bayern fans on here don’t want to see him go. Get him to United
Sure. Most sites have him on around £260K a week at the moment. Let's wait and see!
Lucky for Real they didnt know this
You'd think he would take a payout and get a nice signing on fee from us and/or "loyalty payment" from Bayern and then we'd make him a good earner but not a top earner at the club to try to ensure squad harmony as best we can. Maybe 225k a week?
