I think he would be a perfect fit for our new project/rebuild. Money is a big part of the game, but we are not a small club. Its not hell to join us.

Barca will distance themselves from him in the media any day now if he is ours.
He would have probably cone if Atletico hadn’t received a transfer ban. He stayed with them and decided not to feck them over.
Even his bro wanted itor maybe he was just trolling, like how we're probably being trolled again with De Ligt by ITKs and media alike.
Di Maria never wanted to leave Madrid. De Ligt is ready for a move.
He is captain of Ajax at 19 and seems very mature. I don’t think it would be about the money for him. I also think he’s intelligent enough to weigh up all the pros and cons of his options and not just fall for the Barca more than a club shite. He might still go there but dogshit on the pitch or not Utd is still an attraction. Being part of a new era and a rebuild could be appealing.
Barca exclusive - Yes, we scouted him for one last time and saw that his technique is not good enough, just like Jovic. Also a top scout from another club told us that his dad is fat and that was it.
What a bunch of fecking primma donnas these footballers are. I thought this kid was meant to be a bit more grounded.
I usually take these things in my stride but this is getting a bit much. Either sign or not but stop whipping up a damn frenzy.

And then he fecked them over anyway
If he's intelligent enough to weigh up the pros and cons he certainly won't be coming here will he.
Don't give a shit if he's about the money, it's the only thing we have over other top clubs right now.
Why are sky the only outlet reporting we’ve withdrawn our interest? yet they are playing the interview posted here saying he’s not made up his mind? starting to think we aren’t in the race anymore, maybe another English club are the English option?

I have never seen a thread blow up this quickly. De Ligt needs to see how much United fans really want him to join.
I just checked the official Barcelona Forum and on De Ligt thread. It only has 2,600 replies and 214,00 views and was started back in 2017.
Our thread already has 5,200 replies and 550,000 views and was only started this January.

Did any else pick up on that?
When he said the "Premier League" first. Why would he do that. If he was going Barca he would have said La Liga first.
He's ours!
He didn’t even say La Liga, he said Spain.
He’s so uninterested in Barcelona he doesn’t even know the name of the league they play in.
In the unedited version he says the Premier League is great, as the English leagues are all the way down to the Isthmian League formerly known as the Bostick League. Spain too I suppose.
Could be this too, everything’s just speculation at the moment. Are they offloading on the cheap? Maybe we can snap up a few
You don't know that. So far he's only played league football in Holland. The time to make such definitive statements (or not, as the case may be) will when he's had a season or two in a stronger league, up against stronger teams.
I think this (though hoping 2 and 3 are the other way around).
He's probably also holding off to see if we buy Daniel James. No James, no party.
It’s been pointed out many times they already had the ban at the time.
I think it totally depends on the figures and how far apart they are.
The reason I have number 2 as it is, is to take into account a player will likely have an acceptable lesser amount in order to sign for his preferred club.
£10k per week, for example, might not make the difference but £50k definitely would.
We are the famous Manchester United. About 8% of the world are Man Utd fans. So this is expected.
I think the most credible news we have thus far, has come from Gerard Romero.
Simon Stone is making guesses based on his feelings and even admits, United would keep hush about such a deal, if they were infact involved.
Mark Ogden has been repeating what he said today for the last 6 weeks via podcasts and ESPN articles. So nothing new there.
The news will break from either Spain or Holland one way or the other. But as things stand, Gerard Romero is the only credible source that's said anything of substance along with Oriol Domenech.
Another reason why De Ligt won't be going to Barca. Judging by his dad, Matthijs will be anything but a 'lightweight'.
This should be threadmarked as a summary.
If there's one thing Ed is good at, it's making massive wage offers.
He's ours!
According to Sky Ed has already given up the chase for him, but Sky are not too reliable. So who to believe?
Ah well lads. Plenty more socks under the bed.
He needs to work on his muppetry.
That's not the feeling I get. The 'Spain also' makes me kinda believe La Liga is his secondary consideration and the EPL foremost.
Prick tease. Never wanted him anyway.
At the end of the day, if he comes it would be great. But we still have many other areas that need fixing even more than CB: RB, CDM, CM, RW and ST. While it would be great to land De Ligt, focusing whatever transfer kitty we have in bringing competent talent for those other areas will IMO help move us up the table more than landing De Ligt.
It's on
Whatever anyone thinks of LVG, I can't help but admire his way of always making me laugh when answering questions. Even when he looks serious, he still carries a comic personality.

To be fair, we’re the only club he actually mentions

And how did you come to this conclusion?
