Bayern Munich director of sport Max Eberl has opened up on the club’s decision to sell Matthijs de Ligt to Manchester United in the summer.
The Dutch centre-back arrived at Old Trafford in August in a €45m (£38.4m) deal with a potential further €5m (£4.2m) in add-ons. De Ligt signed a five-year deal and has made 16 appearances so far across all competitions for the Reds.
