Centre-half Dias, 22, is six years younger than Koulibaly, who turns 28 next month, and would cost considerably less.

Benfica rejected £30m from French club Lyon 12 months ago but will cash in on Dias this summer if they receive around £60m.

That represents relatively good value for United, who have armed new boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer with a minimum of £250m in the current window.

"...Should Benitez stay, and maintain the final say clause in his contract , he is likely to want to hold on to Longstaff - especially if he is uncertain incoming funds won't come his way."

Oh no, terrible news.

 

[Cassidy]

De Jong reported wages average at €16m a year. That's roughly £290k a week? Something doesn't add up...

Some of his wages are laid by Nike

It’s amazing that only yesterday evening, another a journalist, of the same paper, was reporting that we were going in for De Ligt. You’d think they’d pull in the same direction and not contradict one another.

Yeah, but the name of the journalist is Harry Pratt, so, you know, maybe we shouldn't be surprised.

 

[golden_blunder]

And the money goes to pay for DeLigt wages
WH smelling desperation from Barca and low balling them

 

[unplayable]

 

[izec]

Knew it

 

[King7Eric]

Sky sources being Ballague who used the same wording yesterday. Ruled out indeed.

 

[Renegade81]

G'night fun while it lasted!

 

[NoMidfielders]

Hopefully Barca will hurry up and announce De Ligt now to appease the fans after the cup final defeat.

 

[Kaivalya]

More credible sources than Balague have said the interest is extremely real. Let's wait and see.

 

[NoMidfielders]

Balague hasn't written for Sky in about a year (since they lost La Liga rights) and now writes for BBC so I doubt he's the source. Doesn't mean the source is reliable of course, but my money is on him signing for Barca.

 

[RedDevilRoshi]

Do people still take “sky sources” seriously?

 

[Stretch]

Not that I know or think De Ligt is coming to United but chances are their source is Ballbag and even if it was a briefing from United, the club won’t admit we’re busy with a deal unless it was certain of it

No. Well, some do apparently.

If it as briefing from United, it means we have zero chance of getting him and we want to save face. When did we ever buy a player under Woodward when we ruled us out? When we brief something like that, it is over.

 

[Bastian]

"Withdrawn interest". Seems ridiculous really. Either we were interested and got rejected or we were interested and got rejected. Take your pick. Pretending not to be interested any longer won't make it appear any better PR wise.

Hopefully this flurry of reporting over the last 2-3 days has pressured Barca into paying much more than they'd like to.

 

[NJM78]

I feel for the fans who believed or still believe he is coming.

Actually been the opposite in recent years with United. We’ve literally told UK media several times in recent past that we’re not in for player X only to go sign player X

 

[Sassy Colin]

Muppet implosion incoming

 

[JB08]

Bollocks

 

[Scorpy]

Well it was fun while it lasted.

dont remember that, at least not in the same window.

 

[NJM78]

Don't worry muppets we still have Smalling and Jones.

 

[Snafu17]

For a BBC journo he really struggles with writing sentences. The last one just doesn't make any sense.

Either way, not that I think we'll sign him, but Sky are garbage and Stone only expressed an opinion, so you all can continue to muppet about.

 

[Giggsyking]

feeling? what the feck that suppose to mean? Say you know nothing and make yourself clear.

 

[buckooo1978]

this guy is pretty on the money for most things isnt he

 

[Red00012]

Nothing new to report here, a dog on the street could have told him pre Fa Cup final De Ligt was Barca bound. The rumors are that it was changed in last 48 hours. Lazy Journalism.

Just to add I think he’s Barca bound anyways.

 

[Rajma]

Sky Sports should be banned from here imo if this turns out to be not true. They have no credible sources when it comes to our dealings at least.

 

[Giggsyking]

I think De Ligt is already a united player

 

[Rajma]

feeling? what the feck that suppose to mean? Say you nothing and make yourself clear.

Feeling = Guessing (no sources), wants to get his share of clicks, that's all.

 

[croadyman]

Right then let's move on to the next CB target,still don't think the Koulibaly situation is all cut and dried despite what Napoli say

 

[Giggsyking]

 

[Rajma]

He admits to know feck all but people seem to be taking his word for the fact. Weird.

 

[Rajma]

this guy is pretty on the money for most things isnt he

This guy knows nothing though.

 

[Infra-red]

Unpopular opinion but I don't think we'll get De Ligt. I'm sure we're just being used to get a better deal from Barca. Hope I'm wrong but we've all seen this kind of thing before with us.

I think most people believe this to be the case, including all journalists worth listening to.

 

[Andycoleno9]

Well it was fun while it lasted.
