De Ligt a good player? Manchester United's deep suspicions "24-year-old ace centre-back, why would Juven and B Munich sell?"

Team Talk, a British soccer media outlet, quoted former Manchester United ace Andy Cole on the 4th (Korea time) saying, `It is worrisome whether Mattis de Ligt will succeed at Manchester United.'
The media reported that Sir Jim Ratcliffe of Manchester United is looking to recruit De Ligt to improve Manchester United's defensive options under Erik ten-Hach. He entered negotiations with Bayern Munich. Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has also been linked with the signing of De Ligt, but Manchester United are known to be a strong candidate to sign him at this stage. The Manchester United fan will be impressed by De Ligt's recruitment as he is a big name defender with extensive experience on the international stage and in the Champions League. He also won league titles in Germany, Italy and the Netherlands. However, Andy Cole has questions. 'We have expressed concern about De Ligt's true ability as he has been sold to Juventus before and is now on the verge of leaving Bayern'

He is only 24 years old. I think the heyday is still around the corner. But he wants to sell him. It's an interesting thing.
Manchester United are undergoing a major defensive overhaul. Harry Maguire, could trade Viktor Lindelof. This is to raise the transfer fee for De Ligt.
Bayern Munich want a transfer fee of around £50 million, but Manchester United is setting a transfer fee of £34 million as a reference point for now.
