I don't know if its just me but i think this guy will surely deliver......I have a feeling
I got a feeling
That tonight's gonna be a good night
I think a player of De Ligts quality always has the chance to deliver at almost any club
But having the right environment certainly helps as well!
Same
Thats a positive feeling. I see only negative people
His intangibles of being a leader at such a young age are so important for me imo, especially when you look at how INEOS want to change the enviornment around the club. You need players like him.
Unreal character, leadership and experience for his age!
The Bayern fans had chosen him as best player 22/23….. he is worldklass
Had a great first season in the Bundesliga!
Coz they are stupid
Hahahahahahahahahahahaaaaa!
worldclass ? lmao united fans are unreal man gassing every potential signing like they found a gem
@@AJAnalysis His second season he was great too, but just injured the first half of the season. He was benching KMJ and Upamecano for God's sake in the CL vs Arsenal and Real Madrid. He's their best CB
He is used to playing with onana & knows how ten hag likes to play & apparently he has good mentality & leader skills, he was captain at 18 years old & ten hag knows how to bring his best out of him
He never played with Martinez
You just write nonsense without checking facts
Just because he and Martinez played for the same club does not mean they play there at the same time
They never played together
I just checked an martinez was De ligt's replacement, so no they never played together. I dont check everything out online. I got told they did play together 🤷♀️ So sorry for not being right all the time & not being perfect...
@@krissyhardwidge5880 But there was nothing wrong with your comment because you didnt say martinez .. you said onana .. he played with onana before and thats True
@@michaelflores2739so as varane? What a stupid comment
Get de Ligt and Todibo. Todibo covers the wide space very well. He is also very quick. Matches Mbappe’s pace easily. I wish we can challenge the UEFA decision and win. Todibo will be massive for us
Maxence lacriox can be alternative to todibo
Actually UEFA asked INEOS to take TODIBO matter out of court so that they can resolve it ..that sounds like Todibo will join Man United..may be play premier league only and not Europa fr next season
@@Traveltheworld1818. do you have a source for this information? Thanks!
Todibo unsettles me arially
We need to have some arially dominance in the team so we can stop this thing of playing McTominay for his height
@@MohAhmad879 I saw him. Maybe clips of video won’t give you the full picture. I think he is a good player. Not refined yet. But has potential
I've been waiting for this one. Thanks AJ
Enjoy
You commitment has to be applauded 👏👏. You did a video on De Ligt FIVE months ago. I actually watched it last weekend
Appreciate it mate! 💚
Great video AJ
The algorthm hide your channel for a while. But i am glad you are back. This was the longest two days of my life
Fantastic video. Really interesting and insightful.
Thanks for watching!
If i can give you some advice, there´s a bit of echo in your sound, don´t know if its mike quality or the room. Re the content, amazing keep up man.
I get your point about De Light being a similar profile to what we have but also think that’s one the reasons why we’re targeting him to begin with. At this point prioritising squad depth with similar profiles as rotation options might be better than over relying on one really good channel defender.
Agree with your assessment of De Light as a whole though. Brilliant analysis 🤝🤝
Very valid point!
Thanks for watching 💚
First time watching you. Really impressed. Subbed. 👍🏿
Thanks so much! 💚
We lack leaders by signing this lad he'll be another leader another warrior that we need. Him & Martinez will make a formidable partnership. Think he'll thrive under Ten Hag get his career back on track afterall he played under Ten Hag at Ajax & was their captain at such a tender age.
This is a shrewd bit of business from Ineos recognising great value in the market and seizing on the opportunity. This signing will be a great start to the window. Signing the right characters as well as players is extremely important in this window. But he can’t be the only centre back bought
As long as he stays fit
I understand all of the reservations about his game, his skill set and his success at different clubs but this feels a lot like a player looking for a club to call home and a club looking for a player to add to their family.
A lot could go wrong with this one but personally, this will go down as an astute signing better than Branthwaite or even Todibo in the long term.
He had a family at Ajax
He's injury prone that's the problem
@@zeeone4492 He will have a new family bro, its called United. Its why we check-in for the amazing football insights of oue man Howson and if you are me, Sam Peoples (UnitedPeoplesTV) too.
As for the injury proneness, its not as bad as painted and if managed right, we should be fine. RVP was super injury prone at Arsenal then came over to us and was just fine. If INEOS can reign in our shambolic medical department, I get that feeling we will see the best of him.
He's slow so no not better than todibo.
@@mm2801he's not slow and in a lot of areas he's better than Todibo. He's around the same age as Todibo but way more experienced at the highest lvl.
@tomvanvenrooij1811 he is slow hrs as fast as maguire which isn't fast at all.
Love the analysis mate. Also I'm digging the Mainoo frame. Where did you get it from if you dont mind me asking?
He is quality player with unique tackling styles ❤
Aggressive and powerful
Worth my wait!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Onana, Martinez and De Ligt know each other well... that can only be good... will allow everyone to play to their strengths
De ligt never played with Martinez mate. Martinez was his replacement at Ajax.
Big up Aj great content as always pal👍👍 I am kinda gutted Archie Gray is a Spur's player now and Anselmino is Chelsea bound these should have been top priority target's
Glad you enjoyed the video!
I was gutted when I saw the Archie Gray news :(
keep going 🙌
Thanks for watching!
Nice
lets go AJ, im a fan of United signing De Ligt. Just not for a big wage and a big contract
Thanks for the support as always mate!
I agree with your Maguire and De ligt profiling. Would prefer a cb that has the mobility to handle wide channels and is also strong at box defending. For the quoted price of De Ligt I would get Trevor Chalobah and Cristhian Mosquera. Better usage of budget and both give you very different profiles for RCB than what you have, with Chalo also able to cover RB. Means you also wouldn’t need a backup LB signing since it would be Shaw, Dalot, Mazraoui (possibly Malacia) as LB options and Dalot, Mazraoui, Chalobah as RB options
@AjAnalysis great content as always. Main debate in the comment section is :
First - whether is a better signing than brainthwaite.
Second- whether he runs a risk of being injury prone.
Martinez has missed more games in one season than Delight in three seasons. And yet martinez is not injury prone. He faces recurring injury on same location of his body same to deligt and thus can be managed through change of technique or shift of body weight. It shouldn't be aa worry.
Im his comparison with brainthwaith...deligt brings immense experience in the team given that he has played in the top clubs that are in the top leagues of the world sheds light also to his leadership and mentality. The locker room needs this type of personality against challenging big teams like man city. Brainthwaith is far below him in this respect. And skills too, delight is the most preffered in build up and tactical flexibility.
i think the plan was buy CB that doing aerial, have speed but also good on the ball, thats why our first target was Branthwaite and Todibo, but both go downfall so what that is more needed? i think especially if Casemiro go, our starting 11 is quite short, i think De Ligt get us the most with the money but if we really gonna buy another CB i'll take someone like Calafiori with pace and very good to progress the ball and also can play as LB to cover both Martinez and Shaw, even rotate with them
If we get him, im not complaining, and for only $42mil. Worth it
I usually agree with what your saying but he will be perfect to build from the back so hes what we need
Yeah this was just an out of possession focus
I uploaded a video looking at more of the in possession side of things back in January if you want to check it out
In my opinion, when we have Onana, Lichi and him that's a well structured backline"ball playing players "and that wht our coach wants.
Now we need wing backs aswel
The demoted manager to coach most like won't be there for too long
I disagree with the comparison with Maguire (and btw, I think Maguire is underrated). I think Maguire in one on one defense is better and he's also better in the air, but the Ligt is better capable of a high line defense and in posession he's much better. What makes the key difference imo, is that he will make himself available for Onana to receive first pass and progress the play. He is excellent high volume passer (short passes, not long ones). This would be the last year to cash in on Maguire, so I would sell him. I am unsure De ligt is a good idea, but mostly because of injuries concerns.
To me De Ligt makes perfect sense as long as we buy someone like Branthwaite or Calafiori as well
Calafiori is class. Way better than Braithwaite
@@KailamiMwiingaBut he will be expensive and also many clubs may want him so there will be a bidding war
@@echo3-1enteringsimpmodeBranthswaite isn't cheaper either
@@KailamiMwiingai don't believe this at all, branthwaite is so young but is number 1 at duels won in the pl and Europe, he's calm great in the air, and can ping a ball but wasn't given the chance to at Everton i definitely think he's on the same level as cala
@@Jomiloju-xw6wg Well, time will tell I guess..
I remember scout reports telling us how magical Amrabat is. right now every player is a risky buy.
He's the thing, it's about partnerships and playing a highline, the big question should be will Deligt and Martinez be a good partnership with Onana behind them???? And the answer is yes. Injuries will be the only enemy of this but if both are fit come on, he's a massive upgrade
Brother if you could do a rating of his potential and current and expected level ability it would be much better for instance if you think deligt can be one of the best center backs of his generation then give a 75-79 rating and if you think he will surprass his generation and erans comparison with other generation then 80-84 and if you think he will be one of the greatest center backs of all time then give him 85+ rating it would be a much better insight
Good player
He fits perfectly into ten hags system along with Martinez … I’d take him…. His pros are better than his cons… his cons can be helped by having proper cover for him… a good CDM maybe
I agree that De Ligt might not be the kinda profile we need most right now, but if we can sell both Maguire and Lindelof and bring in De Ligt and two other CB, that might work. But it seems unlikely we can achieve that much transfer activity in one go
De ligt❤
If De Ligt signs Maguire has to go because he is what Harry is not. United will still need another center back in the Todibo mould, a person who can speedily clean up the channels. My concern is his injuries. If he can get over that he will be a decent signing. Your analysis concerning being potentially turned by a player with a lower center of gravity is spot on.
If we can sell Maguire for 30m and bring in de ligt for 40m, that's great business
Bayern fans love him as he did great last ditch tackles and goal line clearances as well as a displaying leadership.
But what are we doing not signing centre backs for a back 3???? That is the profile we need
I think we'll end up having a back 3. Martinez, De Ligt and Branthwaite (if he too is signed). Dalot and Shaw as wing backs, a three man midfield of Mainoo, Ugarte and Bruno. And two Strikers in Zirkzee and Hojlund. But that's for some games, only the coaches know
@@Dmaj089and you don't
@@zeeone4492 it's why I said think at the start of my sentence
@@Dmaj089 keep thinking
@@zeeone4492 you acting like a know it all. Learn to be humble my G. If you knew anything about football you would be at a club somewhere, but here you are commenting
De ligt is an upgrade to what Man United already have. If Man United get him for around 35m its a nobrainer. I also think De ligt have been very good at both Juve and Bayern but the competion in both clubs have been pretty tough with alot of great CBs. Still he had played regular for both sides.
I knew you cap when you said Lisandro is poor in the air 😂😂😂
I don't know if it's in a back 4 or 3. In a back 3 he can leave the wide spaces to a fast Libero.
what if INEOS are banking on winning the case with the court of arbitration and the system for next season could be a back 3? it’s not likely but possible, and de ligt martinez and todibo at the back would be amazing
Completely agree with your end statement. Good player, but I think we need that channel defending monster, who's insane in the air, not just good. Its why I like branthwaite, and if the wages are high, hed basically match branthwaites amortised price anyway, so i'm not sure its what we need.
No doubt about the quality, but the fit.... not sure
People who are rating Branthwaite haven't watched him play he's lanky slow and clumsy. On the ball he's not a ball playing cb he can pass but it isn't a strength of his game. Please study his game
@@mm2801 he's not slow at all, covers ground like a monster and turns far better then a guy of his size should. Never said he wasnt average on the ball, but you don't need to be a world beater on the ball when you have lissandro martinez next to you.
And when you have Martinez next to you, you need to cover for his weaknesses, that being, aerial duels and channel defending.
I've watched branthwaite play about 20 games this season, don't presume that ppl who rate him just havent watched him.
@user-kw5hj2rx9u liar he is slow. Granted hes not as slow as maguire but he's slow for a prem defender.
@@mm2801 Not even remotely true, he may be slow as in "doesnt look fast" but in terms of how much ground he covers, theres not many better then him. Stride length goes a along way.
I was so excited that United are linked with De Ligt, Branthwaite and Zirkzee until I discovered one of them didn't make his country's Euro team, and the other two haven't played a minute despite being fit.
What difference does that make
Martinez only played about 30 mins in the world cup, do you not rate him either?
@@PeteMadden-rn4ps Factually incorrect. Martínez played at least 240 minutes at the World Cup, with 1 start and 4 sub apparences, failing to appear only against Poland and in the final against France.
@@zeeone4492 These players are not good enough for the teams at the level we want to get to, they won't get us there. There's little evidence they're better than what we have at the moment. De Ligt is injury prone, just like the entire United defence last season. Branthwaite is a left footed defender who was left out of an England team that has no left sided defenders, to the extend of taking an injured Luke Shaw, and playing two right backs at left back.
@@tindase De Ligt is a better defender then most of the current defenders and a true leader but he is injury prone
United are not going to buy the top players for top money at the moment as they have little money
They should be perfecting the style of play and getting the players to fit that style for now
I'm not staying the other two are great but there are different reasons why one is not picked for his country one being the England manager is useless so that is not an accurate measure
We really need todibo too,
Don't watch him that much, can he be a Varane replacement?. He was bought as a Varane replacement. If he can fulfill that role and stay fit, than it is a good transfer.
How did he fall out of favour when he played in the quarter and semi final of champions league
This is where I worry; dalot is also really bad at defending the back post when a cross swings in, we've not defended the back post well at all since Chris smalling left the club
De Ligt knows how to play with a high line; Harry Maguire, on the other hand, does not. That's the key difference. He is not the same profile of player.
The key differences is injuries
The key difference is that de Ligt is way faster than Maguire. Which makes it possible to even try to defend in a high line.
interesting. I am secretly hoping we get Yoro or Jarrad instead.
I have been watching De Ligt since he was 15 in the youth of Ajax. He was so good for us at Ajax. Basicly had everything.
Now a days he has two big weakpoints in my view. First is defending the wide spaces. He is slow to turn on the byline and not comfortable in the spaces normally a rightback would defend. Other weak point is dribbling on the ball. His passing is good enough for a central defender. But ball carrying into wide spaces and midfield feels like he is much much weaker than he was in the time at Ajax.
The last time I saw de liĝt play was for the Netherlands and he gave away a pealty
All defenders do give away penalties once in a while
AJ, I respectfully disagree with you and others on we needing a different profile because De Ligt has the same profile as Maguire. True but the BIG DIFFERENCE here is De Ligt can and has played high line. That is what we need to close the gap between the midfield and defense. And reason Nagelsman went in for him. Don’t forget EtH’s philosophy of high intensity and winning the ball back in the final third is more German-Ragnick influenced than Dutch. Going in for a different profile means we will have to set up differently again this season and hope it works rather we build on last year’s and minimize injuries this season. Majority of our problems last season which was also stated clearly in the athletic report from Laurie that our defenders retreat to low block cos they’re not comfortable which creates the gap. I think this kid will be a serious STEAL because he thrives in attacking system which he only had under Nagelsman after leaving Ajax hence fans favorite in his first years at Bayern.
Why nobody discussing about our medical team and previous seasons injury records
Medical team was changed completely..they brought in some medics from the arse...I mean Arsenal.. United since INEOS have been getting th best off the pitch staff from other teams and they are willing to join the United Revolution
my worries are not buying players but selling instead why aren't we start selling players like Casemiro or sell at least one defender before buying one
His injury record is a big concern. Can we afford having 2 central defenders with injury records like Lisandro and DeLigt
Martinez has had one injury the same one that kept him out for ages (metatarsal) and then the west ham player fucked up his knee by falling on it. This was bad luck contact injuries.
De ligt had two big injuries a shoulder dislocation which he recovered from and didn't miss many games and then the knee injury. The only issue with the knee is if it affects his play and long term.
Not like constant muscular tweaks etc. it may be being overblown.
Well it makes sense if he is the 4 and Martinez can sweep because Martinez can control the game
Except Martinez is also a stopper, which is why he worked so well with Rafa, who's a fantastic cover.
We need that Todibo deal.
Is he fast as flash???
I'm just worried about his injury record
Spoiler alert: he's good. Very very good. And He'll be a massive improvement for our team
I don't think we have enough money if we need another defender and DM and a ST if we were to sign him. (2x CD - one to replace Varane & one to replace Maguire)
U said no for De Ligt so I'm curious to know who u had in mind instead?
You're not going to get a better CB far anywhere near the price quoted right now. So yeah unless you want to break the bank I think he's one of the best options out there right now.
Would you rather we pay 70 million pounds for Braithwaite? 😂
De Light for 42 million pounds is a steal.
As for his wage (260,000 pounds/week), it'd be great if he agrees to 160,000/180,000 pounds per week with a clause to pay the remaining amount if he makes certain amount of appearances.
@@tomvanvenrooij1811 AJ said "no" to De Ligt at the end of video. So I wanted to know who else was on his mind. I agree with u. But I also think Tosin from Fulham is free would be very good business
@@benedictjajo Agree, 70M for Braithwaite is too inflated. I was saying AJ said "No" to de Ligt in the video, so I was asking who is/are better option/s? I think Tosin for free would be very good
@@seyhanmustafa8553 Tosin is already gone
Todibo /De ligt is the r8 type of RCB for ETH.....Manutd is gonna play from the back if our CB's keep fit for the whole season..
If buts and maybes
Lol, a crock centre back for Crock Trafford!
What I worry is his high salary which might cause problems in dressing room. if he willing to lower his salary I will be happy.
I don’t think braithwathe would be a better choice to be honest, delight is a monster, it’s not just skills it’s character, delight has seen the champions league and has got experience at 24, Braithwaithe is still raw, I’d go delight because say what u want that guy can improve
Only the injuries to worry about
Only the injuries to worry about
I just shiver that next season we will be having deglit&margure... both slow & heavily built OR back to Maguire & Evans because deglit&martinaz are injury prone... it looks like this season injuries taught us nothing
Clearly never watched him.
If we can get him for 40m pounds it’s a no brainer
As we need another cb too
He is coming at the right time... if he came at 19 we would have ruined him
Stopped listening after i heard "Martinez is quite poor in the air"......the man has one of the better arial duel stats about
Hope it happens
He be Manu new Van Dijk
If he can stay fit he will be at Man U for a while
I have huge reservations about this move. He can't even get into the Netherlands starting XI! He reminds me of Maguire skill-wise. Mentality is the only positive I see in his play.
Isnt anyone else worried that he didn't even play a minute at the Euros yet? Or that nobody else is interested in him? Or that Bayern are so eager to sell?
I would prefer a loan with a buy option rather than buying him on a 5 year deal with big wages
Bayern will never agree to that
United fans are overthinking this... let's get the man in... he'll be great for us. 🙄 ... injuries happen, build a squad! Like we always have done and now sit and watch City with two Starting 11s 😒😒
De Ligt will be mint
Lisandro Martinez is not Poor in aerial tbh
Isn’t he on massive wages? Thought United were moving away from over paying their players.
Bayern fans have started a petition to stop him being sold. They love him ❤
They also make a petition to keep tuchel but Bayern management want to sack him then Bayern make a U-turn so tuchel refuse to stay
I'd be worried if he were the only CB signing. But if we were to bring in Branthwaite and De ligt, and sell Maguire, it sort of makes more sense as a whole
Please make a review about Ugarte
I uploaded one a couple of days ago 💚
I believe you are on to something, he us faster, technical H.
Him over Marc guehl? Are we blind? He's faltered in juve and bayern
I agree with AJ here - i also don't want to compare him with maguire but I don't see the point in having both of them in the squad. he's a much better version of maguire but I still think we need a todibo type cb.
Just sell Maguire then? He's definitely an upgrade over Maguire when wanting to play a high line.
@@tomvanvenrooij1811 agreed. They might as well but they still need to bring someone else in
Am sorry but i have a BIG DOUBT about him
Don’t worry he wouldn’t have to step out of his defense because of the speed and recovery of ugarte
If our legal team can find a way to get todibo and de ligt 😍. Erik will get the best of him and martinez would be his partner. At £42million....yes please
"Lisandro Martinez quite poor in the air"?? I don't know if the only football you watch is on stats pages because that's a damn lie. I give you he's not a heading monster like Maguire but he's certainly not "poor" and I've seen him win many headers when up against players much taller than him. I've played football myself for 25 years and watched football on TV since the 70'ties and I've seen many players who are quite poor at heading like myself - but Martinez is certainly not one of them in spite of his height.
The way I should've worded it is probably more like:
For his height, he's good in the air and uses his body well
But compared to alot of the other top cbs he falls short 💚
@@AJAnalysis Exactly! But also - "compared to alot of the other top cbs" he's better at tackling, ball carrying, passing and he's also very press resistant etc. etc. So I rate him very high and I think he's one of United's most important players. In fact one of the main reasons United did so poorly last season missing him most of the season. Pep even named him in "the top 5 CB" after the FA Cup final. So I can easily live with he's not the greatest header of the ball - but "poor" is simply not true.
...and now he just scored a headed goal for Argentina!
De Ligt is 10 times better than Branthwaite who failed in Dutch league and hasn't done wonders in PL, I don't know why were we even trying to buy him, De Ligt's only problem is his wages
Here we go with the Harry Maguire comparison 😒
I have signed the Bayern Fans' petition to keep de ligt at the club form two of my google accounts!
Fans don't make managerial decisions
De Ligth= Branthwaite+Branthwaite-40 million.
De light still got called up for the Euros despite having an injury ridden season.
Branthwaite can't even take a spot off Lewis Dunk after having one of his best season.
Average wide channel defender
Not suitable to play in highline
So passive which attracts more attacks
Not a good buildup defender
Sometimes caught positioning in box
Really concerned with his fitness
You actually said that Martinez is not good in the air 😂 ... stop drinking the Koolaid... in his last Eridivisie season he topped the division in aerial duels despite his height ... and I'm his first session at United, no other defender did better... so no, Licha is definitely not poor in the air. He makes up for his height (which is actually 5'10" 🧐) by positioning and timing as well as a seriously good leap.
For his size, he's good in the air
Compared to most cbs, he's poor despite using his body extremely well
40% aerial success rate 🤔
Harrijs Magligt
He's maguire 2.0 all be it with less mistakes. But the pace is still the same issue and on to that injury it's a poor singing. We need to stay away from unathletic defenders. Plus the signing has ETH fingerprints all over it and the less said about that the better😅
PS aj claiming he has recovery pace when he's not even a step faster than maguire😂 😂😂
If he joins man United he will be worse than our next academy player up within 12 months.
