Man United 'given asking price by Bayern Munich for Matthijs de Ligt'

Bayern Munich will demand £42million from Manchester United for defender Matthijs de Ligt, according to reports in Germany. The Red Devils are in the market for a new central defender following the departure of Raphael Varane. United are in the driving seat to land Everton youngster Jarrad Branthwaite and are expected to improve upon their opening £43m bid that was dismissed by the Toffees this week.
