Matthijs de Ligt, Manchester United's top transfer target, is currently being probed by police for a hit-and-run incident in Bavaria.

De Ligt now plays for German Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich, having joined from Juventus in 2022.

According to German source BILD, the Dutch defender collided with a parked automobile near his club's training field.

According to the report, the defender departed the scene without contacting the authorities.

A witness reportedly alerted the police, and De Ligt's vehicle was hauled away.

However, a specialist lawyer in Munich stated that the athlete could only be penalized for such an offense.

According to the story, the legal practitioner went on to clarify that the maximum punishment is three years in prison.

According to reports, whether or not the accident was intentional is a significant element in such occurrences.

For the time being, the cops appear to be silent on the issue.
