Yep.

I'm surprised Real aren't in for him though. Ramos is getting on and they need a replacement. Surely he'd be perfect.

They have Militao, Varane and Ramos. Neither seems to be injured a lot, so 3 CBs for 2 position seems enough for now. Can change in a few years

They have more urgent issues — Hazard, Eriksen/Pogba, ideally someone like Jovic, that's going to cost close to 250-300 mil.

Can only mean one thing one!
Welcome to Manchester United Matthijs De Ligt
 
He only liked it because He's attracted to the lamps, the light.

Also, nice purple hair on that girl on the right.
Could at least get your left and rights correct when dealing shite craic
 
No fecking way. He kept that quiet.

Yeah, it’s definitely Oprah. I’m always impressed by the global reach of football, Pogba being friends with Oprah could be huge for United in the US market.

Just imagine Utd getting plugged at the OWN.

Huh? She doesn't even look like Oprah...

Is he even a friend of Pogba, does he know him? There is no reason of him to even like that picture. He’s just taking the piss, trolling both United & Barcelona fans. Raiola probably told him to do it just for fun :lol:

But if he wants to be friend with Pogba, it only means one thing. Welcome to Manchester United :D
 
Him liking all of the Instas is hilarious tbf. He's absolutely on his phone somewhere having a fecking blast.
 
Matthijs De Ligt Instagram Like Analysis

Among the players who aren't his teammates/ never been his teammates, and play for major European clubs, he has liked pics of

Mois Kean (Juve)- MdL has actually liked every post of his since 24 March

Messi- Post was Adidas sponsored and MdL has liked nearly every non-sponsored post of his from Apr 12. (a day after Ajax held Juve to a 1-1 draw at Johan Cruyff Arena)

Umtiti- MdL has been liking nearly every pic of his since God knows when, even before their WC win

Lukaku- The pic De Ligt liked of his seems to be the only pic of Rom's that De Ligt has liked in the last month, although De Ligt used to like a fair few posts of his before that

Ferdinand- In the last month, De Ligt hasn't liked any post from Rio. The last like he gave to any of his posts was in mid-Apr- A pic of his challenging Messi. Going further back, the last like MdL gave Rio was end of March for a post dedicated to Sterling silencing his critics

Pogba- While MdL has liked a fair few number of Pogba's posts in the past, he did not like any post from him since 14th Apr (just before Juventus 2nd leg) till upto 5 days ago (roughly when the news started surfacing that he might not be joining Barca) (total 5 posts in this period).
 
A move to City sounds even more logical for him, tbh. Replacement of Kompany as the leader in defence?
 
Well, what do we actually know about this potential transfer besides all the ITK's and posturing going on?

1. Barcelona can't afford De Jong, De Ligt and Griezmann in one window. They've already spent €75m on De Jong, De Ligt will be around the same and Griezmann will most like be over €100m.

2. They have to sell at least Coutinho first. Probably is, no one wants to sign him for what Barcelona want for him, especially as Barcelona are clear they want rod.

3. De Jong has already signed, meaning De Ligt may want to follow him.

4. Reports are Barcelona are standing firm on the transfer and contract agreement they had previous, despite us offering more on both fronts. De Ligt is apparently using us to try and get more out of Barca.

5. De Ligt is liking a lot of Manchester United related Instagram pictures at the moment, probably a wind up on his behalf.

6. Riaola is apparently being a cnut with Barcelona regarding agents fees and the best deal for De Ligt. Wouldn't be surprised if it was him who got us involved in this transfer to start with.

7. VDS and Blind will surely have put a word in for us? Surely?

8. Barcelona are taking the stance 'but we're Barcelona...' as their main negotiating tactic.
 
Some advice for you lot for your emotional well being:

-Try to set deadlines regarding news about players linked to your club that are not based on every hour. This means you don't check the news regarding the player for updates every hour. This means you are not constantly being let down by expectations because of gossip and fake news. Try to set your expectations of a deal happing for the end of the day at first, and then check up every few days and then every week. By the end of the transfer window, you feel less disheartened and 'taken for a ride'. You will also be able to focus on other things in life. There have been countless summers wasted because of keeping up to date with news for nothing to materialise!

Anyway, I know this is all fun and games but think and about the advice. :)
