He is not the answer to our problem,I don’t know why Man united are always good at buying fake things from the Market,this particular player will take us to relegation zone”, Paul scholes disagrees with Manchester United over new £38,500,000 signing

He is not the solution to our issues; I’m not sure why Manchester United is so adept at purchasing knockoff items from the market; this player will send us into the relegation zone. Paul Scholes and Manchester United don’t agree on the new £38,500,000 signing.

Micah Richards dismisses Rio Ferdinand and Paul Scholes’ concerns, believing Matthijs de Ligt can revolutionise Manchester United’s squad.

Finally, after months of rumours, United is expected to sign De Ligt from Bayern Munich for an initial cost of €45 million (£38.5 million), with additional payments of €5 million (£4.2 million).

Furthermore, Noussair Mazraoui is replacing Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who is headed to West Ham, by moving from the Allianz Arena to Old Trafford for €20 million (£17.1 million).

Given De Ligt’s difficulties since leaving Ajax in 2019 and his failed big-money offers to Juventus and Bayern, the center-back’s signing has generated a lot of discussion.

The Dutch international’s form might be restored by a reunion with Erik ten Hag, but a number of United greats have voiced concerns over the move.

Ferdinand asserted that the 25-year-old was “not the answer” to United’s defensive problems, while Scholes characterised him as “second-rate.”

Richards, nevertheless, is confident that De Ligt will benefit the Red Devils this season and assist in putting Ten Hag’s style of play into practice—something he has frequently struggled to achieve since moving to Manchester.

The Manchester City legend stated, “It looks like they’ve got De Ligt and Mazraoui through the door,” in an interview with The Rest is Football podcast.

When discussing Man United’s style of play and organisational structure, it is often noted that they sit deep at times due to a lack of pace.

“If De Ligt joins the team… Without disparaging Maguire in any way, he’s not as slow on the turn as someone like him, but I wouldn’t call him fast either.

In his analysis of United’s penalty-filled defeat to City in the Community Shield last Saturday, Richards stated that Ten Hag’s team appeared to have promise heading into the upcoming campaign.

Players like Amad Diallo are now vying for the first position. The former full-back continued, “[Alejandro] Garnacho comes off the bench and makes an impact.”

Despite the fact that he ought to be taking his chances, Marcus Rashford is still given opportunities. Bruno Fernandes was great, in my opinion. In terms of his demise and mobility, Casemiro as well.

There are undoubtedly good things to be taken away from Man United’s performance since “they are playing a team [City] that love to play the ball and make you look stupid and that wasn’t the case.”
