[@Am-lj3yy]

Who's here after we just got linked to him again?

[@DuskPatrol]

Spot on. Him + Martinez is a fairly slow pairing. That's a concern. Say what you want about Varane's passing, but he's pretty quick.

[@SneakyB]

This might come as a surprise to you but Varane and de Ligt actually have the same top speed of 31 kph.

[@victorokeke3395]

The fact that 31 y.o. varane is still quicker than martinez in his prime is quite concerning

[@SneakyB]

@@victorokeke3395 players like him and de Ligt make up for game reading and defensive awareness. Something that we are short of given how easy for other teams to do cutbacks. They also both excel in maintaining the line for offside traps.

[@victorokeke3395]

@@SneakyB fair enough

[@SneakyB]

@@victorokeke3395 yeah, we've been very vulnerable in the left flank during his absense this season and teams exploit this vulnerability coupled with Rashford not tracking back which leads to a lot of overloads. Might also come as a shock to most people that de Ligt is actually faster than Todibo 31 vs 29 kph.

[@tc.4757]

I like him, and i dont mind the fact that Upamecano and Min Jae are chosen over him as he still is class. However i agree that him and Martinez are not the fastest CB pairing and his injury record is not something we cannot ignore

[@user-ig1ps2mr2r]

Finally someone spoke about injuries!!

[@-atamimsiddiqui3042]

De ligt defends better than Upamecano, Upamecano can't play under pressure, de ligt and min jae would be a better duo

[@HonouHana]

When's the last time we've actively played an opposition player offside? I'd say that discipline alone is too underrated

[@TheDutchyNL]

He doesn't even have a bad injury record. Hardly missed games untill last season where he simply had bad luck with injury, same with Martinez. People claim Martinez is injury prone now, but he also had not missed a lot of games untill just having bad luck with injuries now. Having someone land on your knee in a freak accident or being rushed back too quick from foot injury after a failed surgery does not make a player injury prone.

[@Real__Void]

I think we should sign Ousmane Diomande and Antonio Silva. Make a video on them pls.

[@Ibrahim-nf6yh]

United destroyed talents. As long as the glazers are still there United will never be successful

[@snakekime7608]

If you wanna spend a combined 200 mil on cbs yea sure, would rather todibo and yoro imo, maybe inacio instead of one of them or sell varane and lindelof and bring in all 3

[@victorokeke3395]

Or we could sign scalvini and develop him and kambwala together

[@edwich4476]

Could you do a video on Tapsoba, please.

[@KEVIn-dq6pm]

when are you doing a live on players we should sign? like the one yo did with players we should keep or sell

[@Culley112]

The concern is after last seasons injury crisis bringing in another injury prone player for 250k 5 year deal is risky af. Not the fastest either for the high line United want to play but what do I know haha

[@dannywelbz3650]

Ten hag wants to play FIFA ultimate team tactics , he must go with meta defenders. If the CB doesn't have a pacey CB to cover then we will get cooked on the counter . Pretty sure that half of our issue is not being able to press up and squeeze the pitch which leaves gaps everywhere especially in midfield

[@user-ig1ps2mr2r]

He is a good profile but he doesn't tick all the boxes. We all know Licha likes to be really aggresive. When he came on against Spurs, he literally tracked Richarlison all the way into Tottenham's half. So, clearly, the other CB should be quick to cover the spaces in behind (best eg. Van de Ven at Spurs). Defending the channels, being tall (very imp!) and being athletic in general is also necessary. I might be very wrong but De Ligt seems a bit stiff at times. Todibo is like a no brainer option. He ticks all the boxes apart from experience at a big club but was ofc scouted by INEOS, so there won't be a problem there as well (in terms of talent). Also, Todibo was in the shortlist of Newcastle and Spurs, so atleast we can trust their scouts.😅😂 Also, NO MORE injury prone players please!! Availability is very crucial because we all know without injuries our season would he much much better until now!!

[@lelouch_v9923]

He’s suffered another injury in his left knee becoming injury prone imo we shouldn’t go for him if Varane leaves in the summer we need 2 rcb and regardless 1 lcb

[@femi_danjuma]

We should get Scalvini or Todibo

[@mudevilsbackyard]

People saying he is slow and shit But that guy's 1v 1 defending is elite He dont need the protection of full back he will be quite comfortable in such high pressure situations

[@g_od2080]

We can't sign another Ajax player. Especially you don't want a player bayern are willing to sell.

[@hruikan]

He's an improvement on Evans, especially in the long term, and probably on Lindelof too. We badly need backup for Martinez and his flexibility across the backline would be excellent.

[@snakekime7608]

If they are willing to sell, hes probably going on a cut price, idk what it would be, but anything respectable might be worth it if we also get someone like yoro, diomande or todibo

[@femi_danjuma]

As if Lisandro wasn't bought from Ajax

[@g_od2080]

@@femi_danjuma the point is ten hag has been getting a lot of criticism for only signing those kinds of players. If Bayern are selling there is probably a reason, be it attitude, ability, or injury prone. I've not seen enough to judge but generally they don't sell players they want to keep if they can help it. He wasn't exactly a rip roaring success story at Juve either. And it will be yet another mark against eth if he fails.

[@BlackChrishi]

He's a Bayern player. Also it would be ridiculous to not sign players on the sole reason that they're Dutch or from the Dutch league or Ajax. Give a financial or footballing reason specific to that instance. Also also, it should be clear by now that the overarching problem with our transfers has more to do with us than the transfer targets themselves. We've signed players from Chelsea, Bayern, Real Madrid, Juventus, Ajax, Porto, Dortmund, Arsenal and Inter Milan in recent years. The majority of them were very successful at these clubs and have ended up questionable at best over here. At a certain point it stops being everyone else.

[@pedrolombdi6227]

He is a good player, but he is a bit overrated on the ball, that was probably the main reason for him not playing when he is fit.

[@lexxihd5843]

One important aspect with De Ligt is his leadership. He is the perfect captain which United desperately. But i probably agree that there might be better options out there.

[@KEVIn-dq6pm]

we have martinez for that, dont you think?

[@victorokeke3395]

​@@KEVIn-dq6pmbetter to have more captain material.

[@victorokeke3395]

The only better option is araujo who doesn't want to leave

[@transferking5296]

I do not think we will get de ligt as it will be a summer signing wanted by ten hag but i do not think ten hag will be the coach in the summer and a new coach will probably not want de ligt

[@gilbertmwenya]

Well Ten Hag is staying now

[@jonathanlemonwrestlingshow9251]

De ligt and Martinez with lunin in goal would be lit 🔥

[@TMZbb]

We are keeping Onana, why waste everyone's time?

[@ShaneBoy]

I absolutely want him. He is one of the best in the game

[@myles5450]

no he’s not

[@SIMONSEZMC]

If United get De Ligt he has to take a wage cut and he has to be sold on the project that is Man Utd. We will need to get Todibo next season and maybe consider getting Chalobah in from Chelsea United need to sell Maguire and Lindelof once and for all

[@user-zt6up2cg1v]

We should have sign Radu Dragusin instead

[@thedestrolled]

move lindelof and maguire or varane and bring 2 young cbs and we are good for 10 years

[@user-rich-a123-son..]

It look like all dutch manager won't to his country player at his club why is that

[@ult11mo]

Should’ve went for Kim Min Jae

[@lexxihd5843]

They tried, but he prefered Bayern.

[@boomfaoce]

He is still only 24? Just feels like he has been around for years

[@MASIALETIMATAUKA-zu4zb]

We should avoid de Ligt as he is injury prone, can we get a cb who is ever present the reason as to why united finished 8th is because ETH had no proper first almost the entire season

[@ronniekiven7177]

In short De light is a younger Varene😂But I seriously like the prospect of De light

[@victorokeke3395]

If we get de Ligt and branthwaite then we should be sorted

[@marcusaurelius49]

Just what United needs, yet another CB with persistent injury problems. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@djkingff7788]

He's aboutly average it's just facts, unfortunately 😅

[@AdamT-mv3ok]

We need two new quality CBs so getting de Ligt and Todibo would be pretty great, let go of Varane and Maguire. Lindelöf and Evans can stay another season.

[@ronniekiven7177]

Why get rid of Varane he's the best CB at the club

[@AdamT-mv3ok]

@@ronniekiven7177 Martínez is the best CB at the club, not Varane. Also he's highly injury prone and looks to be on the decline.

[@user-so5cy7xc1w]

United need at least 3 new defenders LCB CCB AND RCB. And other RB sell AWB. New DM sell casemero and sofuyan new Two 8 sell mctominy and eriksen bring dejong and other num 8. And Sell martial bring Experience ST and new RW

[@ShawnGitahi]

I swear if we sign him,l,ll be sure tenhag wants to sabotage us.therr are reasons why he doesn't start for Bayern,firstly l disagree with you on his ball playing ability.l,ve watched him this season and his passing when he,s played is distinctly average.him and linderlof have the same technical ability,only difference being that linderlof can actually pass long well.he cannot break lines with his passing,his longpassing is below par and he,s slow

[@badysparta]

Theoretically a great player, but he doesn't play for Bayern at the moment... And paying so much money for a player who doesn't play... I worry that this looks like a typical Man United mistake. 😅

[@snakekime7608]

Depends on the price, if bayern want him gone and de ligt wanna leave, hes probably on a cut price, if we get him and someone else like yoro, todibo or diomande also, i see it as a good deal imo

[@leonardobonilla4866]

I just don't trust ten hag . Dude got his guys and the team is so inconsistent and he makes stupid decisions like playing Fernandes and mctominay at the same time like mctominay leaves gaps in midfield to get goals and Fernandes roams all over

[@user-zt6up2cg1v]

he is injury prone

[@CollinsLouis-ue8ps]

He is injury prone

[@KRISCHENATH]

I suppose he could be negotiate down to Juventus amount. But that 230,000 per week still.

[@samuelamaecchi]

This guy is an average player at best. He’ll become another Lindelof

[@user-zc2sz1os3j]

No. Just no.

[@kengura1autos]

Another ajax deadwood

[@subhanqureshi4273]

Make a video of why we shouldn't sign this overrated injury prone player

[@edsurpes5283]

Yes this is the defender ManU need, strong pass good defending, strong and good with his head! Dump Casimiro!!
