Only three players have moved between Bayern Munich and Man United, with all three heading in the direction of Manchester.
The blond-haired Bayern Munich defender Manchester United should be making a beeline for is Joshua Kimmich, not Matthijs de Ligt.
Transfermarkt's numbers are as infamous as they are inexplicable. Scott McTominay, the subject of a rejected £30m offer by West Ham last year before he had a career-best season, is listed at £27m. De Ligt, a substitute for club and country, is valued at €65m when United have been quoted €15m less. Kimmich is rated at €50m.As a final fee, that would be reasonable for a 29-year-old with plenty of mileage left.
There have been only three player trades between the clubs and they have all gone to United: Owen Hargreaves and Bastian Schweinsteiger permanently, and Marcel Sabitzer on loan. Amid the scramble for a centre back in the final week of that fraught summer transfer window, Boateng was suggested as a possibility, only civil war was brewing at United. They was no director of communications, Woodward seemed to be avoiding Jose Mourinho and messages were mixed. Anthony Martial was not for sale in Woodward's eyes but he was in Mourinho's.
In the listless 1-0 loss at Newcastle in early October, three starters were aged 21, one was 20 and another 22, while four teenagers were on the bench. Without the mid-season arrival of the 25-year-old Bruno Fernandes, United were destined to finish outside of the top four.
