  WHAT HAPPENED?

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Bild alleges that a witness is said to have observed the incident in Grodner Strasse at around 10am, with De Ligt reportedly on his way to training in an Audi Q8 e-tron. The report adds the Dutchman's car was allegedly towed away, seized and now police officers are investigating the damage to the vehicle.

• DID YOU KNOW?

  Bild also claims that De Ligt is about to leave Bayern for Manchester United. They state the German giants want approximately £42.8 million ($54.5m) for the 6ft 2in defender, but the Red Devils are reluctant to pay that much for his services.

  WHAT NEXT?

  It remains to be seen what will happen to De Ligt, both with this police investigation and whether or not he will swap Bayern for United this summer – with the ex-Juventus man keen to reunite with former Ajax manager Erik ten Hag.
