I just realized this and was quite surprised that a defender with good talent like De Ligt didn't get a starting place. It seems that Tuchel has a personal opinion about De Ligt and it is a shame that his qualities have not been used so far at Bayern Munich. The arrival of Kim Min Jae was one of the reasons his place was taken and Tuchel should have been able to back up Upamecano, whose performances sometimes lack consistency. I don't understand what Tuchel is thinking seeing as the difference between Upamecano and De Ligt is clearly very different in terms of quality. In fact, if we look at De Ligt, he often contributes when building up to scoring goals with hard shots.

If De Ligt continues to be on the bench, it is not impossible that he will leave in January, especially as quite a few top European teams are definitely interested in securing his talent and I think Manchester United can allocate their transfer budget to try to bid for De Ligt.
