I don't know if he'll end up at United, but I would take note of the posts @Ajaxsuarez has made on this potential transfer.

De Ligt seems to favour playing in England and the Catalan press seemed to have created a narrative that he only wants them in the last few months.

The main man at De Telegraaf in Holland also stated on TalkSport that De Ligt was surprised no English team had shown interest.

Rac1 is a super reliable source for Barca. I'm now just waiting for Oriol Domenech to give his update.

I'm not that excited if he doesn't really want to be here tbh.
Tweet said he rejected €250,000 a week. Are we going to keep going till he says yes?
 
Nothing and no one seems to learn anything at this club. Blow half the budget on a 19 year old defender from eridivisie and then blame Ed Woodward when it doesn't work.
Caf should make up its mind, when things go tits up with this one (and they likely will), will Ed be the scapegoat again?

Just look at liverpool and city and what made them top notch. I can assure you it wasn't just money spent (we've done that too). They both have a modern manager with a plan. We have Ole who frankly wouldn't be here if Ed had only waited for season to finish.
How do you know that there isn’t a plan? You don’t. You assume a budget and you assume that it will be blown on one “19 year old defender”

That same defender who is a generational player, one of the best around at 19, a leader and one no doubt you would moan about if United didn’t go for
 
When will the reputable people start confirming this? I want to be a muppet like the rest of you but it all seems too good to be true and it's going to hurt when he signs for Barca next week! Come on BBC start reporting it for goodness sake!!

If he really wanted to be at Barca he’d have taken less money. These guys aren’t fans like us, they’re professionals looking to get the best deal for themselves

Obviously Yes!
 
This is a Rio Ferdinand type signing. He would be absolutely perfect.

Spot on. I remember promising myself during the Rio saga that I’d get his shirt if he signed. Then Keane elbowed McAteer and I got his instead :lol:
 
Who pays more to Mino may have the upper hand here.
But for the player him self maybe it's not all about the money!

If not him, they'll pay that money for koulibaly or some other defender who's a decade older. Only thing I care is how successful he ends up being. He's young enough that he might come to grow into the club, we've had a decent history with Dutch players.
 
Some people won't be happy until we sign players on the national minimum wage.
 
This could be true.

I know Nike is paying a big portion of De Jong's wages at Barca.
You know that for a fact? Because I find it ridiculous, why on earth would Nike pay his wages? To make him go to Barca or something?
 
Can we bring Blind also alongside him ?

De Ligt dont play as a lcb , Lindelof struggle as a LCB, so if we don't sign any other CB then Phil Jones will be best LCB at United.

I’d imagine big firms like Adidas don’t want their star image guys playing in Nike kits every week
