Bayern star Matthijs de Ligt's 'relationship with Thomas Tuchel is tense as he heads for a summer exit' just two years after £68m move... with clubs including Man United on red alert

Matthijs de Ligt could find himself on the way out of Bayern Munich in the summer due to an estranged relationship with Thomas Tuchel, according to reports.

The defender is vital to the club's current predicament, with Kim Min-jae away at the Asian Cup with South Korea, meaning the 24-year-old is one of the current starting defenders, partnering Dayot Upamecano.

He has, however, found himself out the team more often than he would like in recent months, with Tuchel preferring to play Min-jae and Upamecano together in the centre of defence.
