[@jeronymusv4558]

@@yagesh287 Honestly almost nothing you say corresponds with the truth or it could be nuanced quite a bit. Proud follower of this platform? ;=) Antony ETH was forced to choose because of severlas reasons, f.e. the shocking inaptitude of United then on the player's market, and he did certainly did not buy him for that price. He was forced to choose him, he was never first choice. Furthermore those Ajax players were creating a buzz on the highest international level under ETH and not only in the Dutch Eredivisie. ENEOS picked De Ligt not ETH. De Ligt came out of an injury and - certainly for such a young player - you can certainly not say factbased that hey flopped at Juventus and Bayern. Could you tell me, when was it the last time in England that more than 60.000 fans of a club signed a petition for not having a player leave? He and Mazroui have been also plagued with injuries which hampered somewhat their progression at clublevel. Bayern want to strengthen the first team and therefore some players have to leave. Mazroui came on a free transfer, so commercially there is everything to say for selling him. If you were doubtful because of their injury record, maybe you would have a point.

[@tobaepebinuade5830]

On his day, Matthijs De Ligt remains one of the best defenders in the world when he’s at his best. There are some doubts surrounding his potential move to Manchester United is because as good of a player he is, he’s very injury prone and he has regressed massively since his Ajax days as it didn’t work out for him at either Juventus or Bayern Munich as he has been unable to find a certain level of consistent and he has made some questionable career choices and he also can’t get a game on the Netherlands national team as even though they have a lot of elite defenders, at his age given the amount of transfer fees he’s accumulated, he is in his prime. It’s easy to forget that he’s still only 25 years old and he has been around forever and he is a great defender and he has already won a league title in 3 different leagues (Erderversie- Ajax, Bundesliga- Bayern Munich, Serie A- Juventus), I’m not trying to say that this streak of league titles will continue in the premier league for Manchester United, on paper it’s a good signing for all parties involved. In that position, there isn’t enough quality in terms of their squad depth because going from Lisandro Martinez to Harry Maguire Victor Lindelof and Jonny Evans is a massive downgrade and when he missed a lot of games with injuries, this was obviously a big drop off in quality and this hurt them a lot and going into next season, Leny Yoro, their big money signing has been ruled out until late October as a result of the injury that he picked up in preseason, Martinez is their best defender, but there’s some question marks as to whether or not he could stay healthy after an injury plagued season and what’s going to happen if he’s injured again. De Ligt is injury prone himself, assuming he’s available and they don’t have any of their first choice defenders, he’ll be a starter when everyone is healthy; they have a good enough center back who showcases his best ability on a given day. He’s very strong and physical excellent with the ball at his feet good in winning aerial duels and he suits how ten Hag wants the team to play when they’re trying to build their attack from the defense. Not to mention that he’s reunited with his former Ajax manager in Erik ten Hag and maybe it could be a sign of him rejuvenating his career at Manchester United.

Wan-Bissaka is not an excellent player. That's why he's getting sold for a measly £17m. He's good at slide tackles. He's a decent one-on-one defender. He's terrible at defending his post on corners (which is a key part of a full-back's job - he's cost his team quite a few goals because of that), and he's completely useless going forward from an attacking point of view. Oh and he's a quite average passer of the ball and is not someone who will carry the ball into the opposing half either. I get it if you support Man Utd and you want to support your players, that's fine and normal, but objectively Wan-Bissaka isn't an all-round great player, and certainly isn't "excellent", and that's just the truth of it.

Why are you showing the transfer fee in € last time I checked the currency used in uk is £!! Everyone knows the agenda

[@misterbeane]

De Ligt is an upgrade on what they have at RCB, and Mazraoui is an upgrade over AWB, at least offensively. Mazraoui will start at RB, De Ligt and Martinez at CB and Dalot at LB, at least until Shaw is fit enough. Finally having competition at at least 3 of the 4 defensive positions, save for LCB, is something United hasn’t had in quite awhile. Is it going to get them to the PL title? No, but that’s mainly because their biggest issues are at CDM, and unless they sign Ugarte, anything else is a stopgap until they can go big for that position next summer. Yes, players like Antony, Maguire and Sancho still need to be moved on and replaced, but because of how poorly the last 2 years went, transfer-wise, it’ll take another 2-3 windows of solid business to even get them solidly in the top 4, never minding what even happens with EtH.

De Light went on to Bayern for £70m. And he started plenty of game alongside Dier. He can play a high line and is a country mile better than Maguire. Alongside Martinez we will have a solid defence

Similarly, Noussair Mazraoui started 15 out of 19 Bundesliga matches, accumulating 1,753 minutes.

So this is how finally de ligt end up after diny to come to barca and now nobody even knows ant him

[@guardaviewer4197]

Mazraoui injury record gives you a concern but then you check wan bissaka's record and you find it's almost the same (if not worse) in recent years. Then you realize they've just swapped wan bissaka for Mazraoui with a small profit, and maz is way better for Erik's system. He also won't play every game, and will be a sub. Come to think of it, Aaron was also on a very high wage and I'm sure Maz won't be on such a high one under Ineos era.

Dier who cost them the Madrid tie?? What kind of German footy expert is this guy

[@landothomas1118]

One goal and the Garnacho train is off and running. Last season, he’d score once and disappear for 4-5 games. Let’s see if he got better this season. He ain’t better than RASHFORD.

Funny joke, Rashford and mctominay are the biggest ghosts at Old Trafford

[@DRAKE_FORTUNATE]

You are smoking something lad. Rashford is absolute trash. He's a liability, does not create anything and misses sitters for fun. Garnacho takes on defenders and is more suited to our attack. Rashford should be sold, he's just a huge dusappointment collecting wages

[@hbos9709]

​@@Jhelilunited are selling the best players like Aaron and Mason so no wonder you hate on rashford

[@landothomas1118]

@@Jhelil - hehehe….Who has scored 30 goals vs the big 6 in the EPL? RASHFORD. Go ghost yourself. You’re right about McGhost tho

@@landothomas1118 Hoijlund had more goals with less shots than your boy Rashford, no one gives af what he did in the past if he ain’t doing it now
