🏃Hello! As mentioned, I'm doing the Great North Run in September to raise money for Mind. They provide vital mental health services in the UK, and I can personally attest to him important that can be for people. A small amount goes way further than you might think, so any donations are enormously appreciated. Thank you 🔗ajbellgreatnorthrun2024.enthuse.com/pf/adam-clery
Regardless of his age and whether he goes out to pasture or not, one cannot underestimate what Johnny Evans has contributed to MUFC and still continues to do so. I think all MUFC fans see and understand this.
Does he do it for free? I mean every player gets paid to play football. What special Johnny Evans has done i don't understand? When he is not injured, he has to contribute when the manager asks, isn't it?
Ignore the fool above. MOST United fans absolutely LOVE Evans. Obviously isn’t the long term and yes, there’s better cbs out there. But he love United and gives 100% no matter what. He was huge for us last season when we really really needed him
@@aaronlloyd6905 You are a fool having zero ball knowledge.. Tell me 1 thing which i said is wrong. If you assume that i hate Evans that i must say you didn't even understand my comment. I said what special did he do? He was given a contract as an additional body in defence. If other players got injured then he has to play. He signed a contract. MU paid him. So, I don't get what the fuss you are trying to make here? Any player has to play if being asked by the manager, simple. It's pathetic fans like you who hype football players.. It's not even that he was asked to play in a different role. For god sake, he is a CB and he was asked to play a CB. What's so special about that??? If someone say this about Amrabat then i can understand as he's a midfielder and he was asked to play at LB for so many times.
I hope you're right mate. It can go either way he can either hit the group running and make a vidic type reaction or he can stagnate and continue his blips in form which forced bayerns hand to sell him obviously we all hope that it's the former he's such an amazing talent and so young yet to hit his potential
yeh, my only fear is that Maguire and Evans are in the squad still, I pray ETH isnt forced to play either of them this season. Im actually buzzing for this season to start now we got De Ligt and Mazrouri
When people realize Ten hag is now our manger..with coaches for each department under him from defense to attack then u will realize their is structure and it has ease away burdens that where there season before , Structure Structure Structure, Erik Ten Hag the man for the job❤.
Yes bro! Especially with coaches like Van Nistelrooy and Van Hacke and people like Ashworth, Wilcox and Baradda, it’s a modern day type of coaching and background set up
Adam absolutely nails it with data, EVERY single time. Is it that people like Souness don’t have access to the same data, or they just disregard it, because the case for buying De Ligt seems so obvious?!
Souness will never praise a player that's either going to Utd or is at Utd. He's just a daft, bitter old man. He'll be fuming because of the business we're doing and the lack of business from Loserpool.
Souness doesn’t like Ten Hag or United, also talksport are the biggest United bashers and more importantly, they just don’t really know much about football outside of the prem
A lot of people are saying he hasn't developed to his potential. But at the end of his Juventus years, he was their best defender. And Bayern fans will tell you almost unanimously that he is their best defender. He developed a ton, he just hasn't been on the winning team, so he is out of the spotlight. When you actually look at his stats, he is not just good, but elite everywhere. Now he is absolutely in the spotlight, playing for United, he will show how good he actually is.
@@virupakshawalla5734 They didn't sell him because of his performance, but because of his high salary. They want to reduce salary costs and de ligt was a top earner
Another CB was DEFINITELY what we needed. He's young, but experienced, versatile and able bodies and he's going to allow us to have options when Yoro returns.
I really admire him, his interviews when he was still at Ajax where the most wise I've ever seen anybody talk. He remains my favorite player that I've been able to watch live in the Eredivisie. And also the best player, in the seasons from 2016/2017 untill 2018/2019 he could do everything, but most importantly, he was rocksolid at the big moments.
@@KevinMcGee-qg6hm He's obviously a Dutch person, so most likely didn't follow him at Juventus or Bayern. I'm not going to comment on a player like Militao because I only see him play in Champion's League. Why do you expect a Dutch fan to give a report on him after he left the league they follow?

Most are just praying for a shambolic performance so they can throw their favorite jargons and shout in studio for that one viral trending video.
With DeLigt’s time at Juventus, I definitely think it’s worth bringing up the centre backs that were there at the time. Chiellini & Bonucci… He would’ve learned so much from those veterans and you can almost see the old school kind of Italian defending in how he plays now.
Lol using the university analogy reminded me of how that’s basically what the students at Hogwarts experienced with the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher
I’ve been waiting for this transfer since 2017. He is the perfect center back for this club. Always has been. So excited to see him in a United kit. UTFR
One thing being skipped over when people are talking about his time at Juve is, yeah it wasn't very successful, but he got to learn from Chiellini and Bonucci for 3 years and you can really see it in his game i think.
I like how there are 3 world class CBs at the club again. Martinez will have chances to rest up to avoid injury to hit the next team hard for 90 mins again. Same goes for Yoro.
@@VilliamRoth I was responding to @wolfswinkel8906, who said Martinez will have chances to rest. So there's no left-footed cover for Martinez apart from Evans.
experienced player he single handedly manage to start over so many managerial changes.. he is the back line general and could easily helping bruno on pitch, i remember when lisandro and bruno stand on the same pitch then is only harmony no other word than that and i recon we might gonna see ligt bring the same energy no wonder is a massive signing i am no longer recognize my club, after years of years of torture im in tears
Always fancy De Ligt as a Manchester United player ever since he was at Ajax, but as a fan back then I just know that as a club we were not stable enough for him to develop his career. But still, he just feels like a proper Manchester United player, like if you see him wearing the red jersey it just fits. So to finally get him I think it’s just a bittersweet moment and hopefully with Ten Hag he will be able to achieve greatness he always had in him.
If ETH was asked who are the two best Centre Backs he has coached throughout his career he’d probably say Martinez and De Ligt. Now he gets to put them together. I’m not a Utd fan but I think they have done a blinding bit of business. If they could sell Casemiro and bring in De Jong then I genuinely think they would be a strong team again.
@@kher1297 honestly. Coupled with the ridiculous salary. Aside the fact that midfielders have to progress the ball in the PL or football generally, there should be a little physical presence as well. Especially in the PL. I don't think FDJ has that physical attribute.

@@bengreenbank They didn't sell him because of his performance, but because of his high salary. They want to reduce salary costs and de ligt was a top earner
You made out that Martinez is error-prone based on 23/24 stats that showed him making 0.12 errors per 90 mins. That’s one error every 750 mins. He was injured for most of the season….did he play more than 750 minutes? Or are we saying he made one error leading to an opposition chance last year?
He misinterpreted the statistic, I’m guessing. If Martinez is the 6th percentile in making errors that doesn’t mean that is “shocking”. It’s rather good, because it means that out of 100 people 94 people make more mistakes than him.
The red border on your thumbnails means I don't know if I've watched them or not, is that a tactic to get more rewatches? It might actually make me miss some
Hopefully De Ligt manages to partner Martinez this season and stays injury free. I can see Ugarte being signed and Sancho going to PSG before the end of the window. That will solidify the defensive side and give United a platform to build from.
I was so happy when we signed De Ligt we desperately needed a leader in the backline alongside Martinez, seems to be 0 communication when Magiure and Evans are playing because they look like they have never played cb before with their positioning
Short of selling antony and or sancho, we have too many wingers. Pellistri is the exact player we are looking for in the market but he cant get a run in.
De Light is great, the biggest issue is the leaks in midfield and the unreliability of clinical finishing in the front. Martinez, Shaw and AWB showed this issue during their 2nd place season. They played hard, they were amazing, but it didn't help when they constantly got hammered by attacks because the United midfield and attack were not scoring and messing up chance creations.🤔 Edit: The pressure tends to be on the defense, because the attack isn't scary enough.
If De Ligt becomes free roaming attacking CB similar to a Franz Beckenbaur, it will be the greatest achievement ever in terms of legend maker for Erik Ten Hag
So glad to see an objective attempt to analyse a player rather than the general football conversation around him immediately becoming usless because: a) He's signed for Man United; and b) Paul Scholes made a factually incorrect statement about Eric Dier starting in front of him.
De Ligt was the golden boy worth as much as Joško Gvardiol, but Bayern dropped him because Kompany doesn't want him and sold him for 40m+10m(market value is 65m), also Utd is able to pay in 3 yrs installments. So, he's definitely a bargain for Utd, as long as De Ligt keeps fit, same as Mazraoui, all they have to do are stay fit.
Icing on the cake is, ETH gets to showcase his prowess and tactical nouse with no pressure at all. Every journalist was on his neck demanding his sack after every game lol. Even knowing fully well we'd lost crucial players and how average his squad was. I'm also happy that our new signings can adapt at their pace since their back ups are class: I mean Hojlund-Zirkzee, that's ckass, Dalot- Mazraoui class also. With the way Case is playing, the mid won't be a worry once we get another CDM. Every other position has an elite back up. Thrilling times ahead 🔴🔴🔴
One game doesn’t let Casemiro off the hook. He was AWFUL during pre season. Hojlund and Zirkzee is NOT class at all, it’s ok with potential. This is a good start from INEOS but we’re still a long way off.
@@aaronlloyd6905 we had an awful medical staff. Casemiro was playing through niggling injuries from the very start. He, like almost the entire squad, struggled with fitness and subpar performances. That, however, should not be your metric at all. The fact that he was so dominant against City means if managed well he'll be bossing teams we're up against.
@@jon3416 He was playing against a second string team in a friendly basically. What about all the other awful performances in pre season? He didn’t just struggle last season, he was a catastrophe, couldn’t tackle run or pass the ball. We should be doing anything but relying on him this season, I don’t mind if he’s there as back up but definitely shouldn’t be starting for us
Plz don’t jinx us mate 😂😂 still have PTSD of the how Scotland would be dangerous in the Euros and look what happened 😂😂. Not to mention the Yoro video too
He’s a good signing and I hope it works out well. But we still need a CM and probably a LB considering I’ve just heard news that Shaw is injured again. Overall though, it’s looking like our best window in over a decade tbh.
The more I see his highlights (especially over the last 12 months) the more I think he could successfully play as our new CDM especially if we can get Yoro and Martinez consistently playing.
It's modern football. Loads of great players have done so under a revolving door of managers. How many managers has Thomas Muller had at Bayern over the years? How about Ter Stegen at Barca?
@@mcnally145 I literally just listed players. Are you stupid? Virtually all Bayern players have had a revolving door of managers. So Kimmich, Schweinsteiger, Muller, Robben, Ribery, Goretzka. Same for any Barcelona managers post Guardiola. So Ter Stegen, Alba, Busquets, Rakitic. Zlatan has played under a ridiculous number of different managers.
Man United fan here, I love that we have 4 top centre backs now since likely either 1 or 2 will be out at a time and the only thing that ever happens when Harry Maguire gets benched is that he comes back better than ever before. I wouldn't "rather" have had someone in a different position, but I'll be devastated if we don't get a striker before the window closes.
Jonny Evans is one of the best Irish players United ever had, north or south, he gets so much unwarranted hate imo. He did a proper job for Utd last term when called on. Better than most of the opinions. De Ligt and Yoro will be class for MUFC
I think he’s a good buy and a good fit. Our major issue was the massive amounts of space left in front of the back four when we tried to press high. Will he solve our major problem from last season? On his own no, we also need a really good holding midfielder.
Prior to united Martinez was really good at walking up and passing into the final third.. With de Ligt being able hold a high line we might finally be able to see the old Martinez..
A defence that finally bring out the best of Onana too. I really hope Utd can sign a LB as Shaw’s body can’t be trusted and a CDM. Then 3 more windows to get rid of the deadwood like Sancho, Mc T, SlabHead etc
All its in the past of his old teams.guys lets not forget that players need to be happy emotionally first before he can reach his best and the environment counts aswell.just saying,let's just happy and welcome him,so he can play his best football for us guys😊
The options we have now. Here’s a formation very few have brought up… Onana Yoro De Ligt Martinez Dalot Shaw Mainoo Casemiro Fernandes Hojlund Zirkzee It’s a whole new dynamic!!! It’s like having 5 defenders, 5 midfielders, 2 wingers and 2 strikers at the same time!
A fellow FM fan I myself use a 2 CB on wide cover, 3 dms (1 anchor), RM,LM, 2 inside forwards and a target man/f9 Basically playing rashford, garnacho, amad, Antony and 1 of zirkzee/Fernandez/hojlund
I’d love to see Lisandro at dm with Yoro and De Ligt behind him, Lisandro has all the qualities to be able to play dm and it would mean we could shift into a back 3
Interesting view. I am open minded as the problems at United have been from an open midfield conceding shots. If de Ligt can step into midfield to help then that would sort out a problem. As you say it's up to the manager. A key factor is injuries. Cheers. 🎉
Good luck on your run! I have always been skeptical about De Ligt as he didn't really impose himself at Juventus or Bayern. However Adam raises a fair point, having a consistent manager means the style of play would be consistent. So it would make sense he struggles of the managers keep changing. I just and cautious about United simply buying players whom have previously working under ETH for the sake of it. That being said we needed a good right sided centre back who still had a few more years to grow before peaking. I still would like united to buy a defensive midfielder and get a left back on loan if possible.
❤Mazroui, Amad, Zirkzee, and Ugarte replacing Luke Shaw, Rashford, Casemero, and Hojlund. Let's Stop the Rashford, Shaw, Casemiro PR and Be Realistic for Once now we are beginning to have a competent Squad for Once..❤
Now this is the right kinda information that everyone needs to look at instead of listening to Sourness also might add that both Juventus and Bayern board members were a mess! Don’t forget how many resigned during that Deligts tenure! Kahn & Nedved to name a few
Only question i have is if there's something we dont see behind the scenes. I think everyone would agree that he's better than Eric Dier but why wouldnt be break through Bayern and Netherland starting 11?
I think nationally Van Dijk has more trust from the manager and there is most likely a left sided CB that plays better than De Ligt on the left so him not starting for Netherlands makes sense. When you have two world class CBs it's a good problem to have and just because Van Dijk is a great player, it doesn't mean those behind him on the bench are bad.
Great signing and have to build the team up from the back and as long as some of the midfielders are not sold then there is no room yet for the Casimero upgrade.
As a Dutch person, De Ligt is world class, but he makes mistakes in massive games. That’s a liability and the reason he isnt playing in the National squad
Lets hope de ligt martinez can be our rock and be aggressive. If anyone remembers rio and vidic that what i mean solid will snap there leg if he needs to lol just please no more harry no more liderlot please and no more mctom they needto leave
Love the 2 CB signings and I’d love to get one more on the left. Transform our defense and play further up the pitch. Show Lindelof and Maguire the door. Appreciate what they did but it’s time. Plus, I see De Ligt as a future captain.
I've got a feeling that there's still more to come in the next few weeks especially if a few players move on, but it's been a better window than most in the last decade at least you can see what they are trying to do, the injury list is annoying but hopefully we'll make a solid start and build from there
We absolutely needed another CB. Possibly two when you consider we've lost Varane & Kambwala. Our backups are Maguire & Evans. Lindelof is probably off & Martinez may get himself kicked again. Need to swap Evans or Maguire for a younger squad CB.

He is exactly what we need. We need more defenders that can play a high line to fill the gap between the defence and midfield. GGMU
Adam is so unbiased it's amazing, makes the video exciting for fans of whichever team he's talking about
Short of selling antony and or sancho, we have too many wingers. Pellistri is the exact player we are looking for in the market but he cant get a run in.
De Light is great, the biggest issue is the leaks in midfield and the unreliability of clinical finishing in the front.
Martinez, Shaw and AWB showed this issue during their 2nd place season. They played hard, they were amazing, but it didn't help when they constantly got hammered by attacks because the United midfield and attack were not scoring and messing up chance creations.🤔
Edit: The pressure tends to be on the defense, because the attack isn't scary enough.
If De Ligt becomes free roaming attacking CB similar to a Franz Beckenbaur, it will be the greatest achievement ever in terms of legend maker for Erik Ten Hag
So glad to see an objective attempt to analyse a player rather than the general football conversation around him immediately becoming usless because: a) He's signed for Man United; and b) Paul Scholes made a factually incorrect statement about Eric Dier starting in front of him.
De Ligt was the golden boy worth as much as Joško Gvardiol, but Bayern dropped him because Kompany doesn't want him and sold him for 40m+10m(market value is 65m), also Utd is able to pay in 3 yrs installments. So, he's definitely a bargain for Utd, as long as De Ligt keeps fit, same as Mazraoui, all they have to do are stay fit.
I guess we have to hope for De Ligt's sake that Ten Haag is able to do well enough in the 2024/25 season to keep his job.
Icing on the cake is, ETH gets to showcase his prowess and tactical nouse with no pressure at all. Every journalist was on his neck demanding his sack after every game lol. Even knowing fully well we'd lost crucial players and how average his squad was. I'm also happy that our new signings can adapt at their pace since their back ups are class: I mean Hojlund-Zirkzee, that's ckass, Dalot- Mazraoui class also. With the way Case is playing, the mid won't be a worry once we get another CDM. Every other position has an elite back up. Thrilling times ahead 🔴🔴🔴
One game doesn’t let Casemiro off the hook. He was AWFUL during pre season. Hojlund and Zirkzee is NOT class at all, it’s ok with potential. This is a good start from INEOS but we’re still a long way off.
@@aaronlloyd6905 we had an awful medical staff. Casemiro was playing through niggling injuries from the very start. He, like almost the entire squad, struggled with fitness and subpar performances. That, however, should not be your metric at all. The fact that he was so dominant against City means if managed well he'll be bossing teams we're up against.
@@jon3416 He was playing against a second string team in a friendly basically. What about all the other awful performances in pre season? He didn’t just struggle last season, he was a catastrophe, couldn’t tackle run or pass the ball. We should be doing anything but relying on him this season, I don’t mind if he’s there as back up but definitely shouldn’t be starting for us
Plz don’t jinx us mate 😂😂 still have PTSD of the how Scotland would be dangerous in the Euros and look what happened 😂😂. Not to mention the Yoro video too
😂😂 relax bro. Our team will shine from now on. Don't believe in jinxing
United are cooking something here
😂😂😂😂
He’s a good signing and I hope it works out well. But we still need a CM and probably a LB considering I’ve just heard news that Shaw is injured again.
Overall though, it’s looking like our best window in over a decade tbh.
"...and run a pub quiz..." LOL
The more I see his highlights (especially over the last 12 months) the more I think he could successfully play as our new CDM especially if we can get Yoro and Martinez consistently playing.
The constant switching of managers is a good point hard to develop when there’s constant change at the helm
It's modern football. Loads of great players have done so under a revolving door of managers. How many managers has Thomas Muller had at Bayern over the years? How about Ter Stegen at Barca?
@@bengreenbank show me? At the the top top level you won’t see it
@@mcnally145 I literally just listed players. Are you stupid?
Virtually all Bayern players have had a revolving door of managers. So Kimmich, Schweinsteiger, Muller, Robben, Ribery, Goretzka.
Same for any Barcelona managers post Guardiola. So Ter Stegen, Alba, Busquets, Rakitic.
Zlatan has played under a ridiculous number of different managers.
@@bengreenbank Not a new manger every year!
@@bengreenbank 9 separate ones in 15 years for muller. 8 separate ones for de ligt in 8 years. massive difference there mate
Don't understand why people think he's terrible 40 mill for a great cb yes please
I d like to see Ajax 18-19. The best ever team I ve seen. Their style was interesting, attractive and entertaining
You have spoken i think One of the best teams ever they deserve the final
Man United fan here, I love that we have 4 top centre backs now since likely either 1 or 2 will be out at a time and the only thing that ever happens when Harry Maguire gets benched is that he comes back better than ever before. I wouldn't "rather" have had someone in a different position, but I'll be devastated if we don't get a striker before the window closes.
Absolutely the best analysis on YT
he is the most transformative transfer for MU, like Martinez was
Jonny Evans is one of the best Irish players United ever had, north or south, he gets so much unwarranted hate imo. He did a proper job for Utd last term when called on. Better than most of the opinions. De Ligt and Yoro will be class for MUFC
9 coaches in 9 years is WILD. Idk what anyone says! 👀😅💯
I think he’s a good buy and a good fit. Our major issue was the massive amounts of space left in front of the back four when we tried to press high. Will he solve our major problem from last season? On his own no, we also need a really good holding midfielder.
Exactly what we need and we will sign Ugarte for the midfield 👌
The fact that the Bayern Munich fans started a petition to try and keep him at the club was already a good enough sign for me.
Prior to united Martinez was really good at walking up and passing into the final third.. With de Ligt being able hold a high line we might finally be able to see the old Martinez..
A defence that finally bring out the best of Onana too. I really hope Utd can sign a LB as Shaw’s body can’t be trusted and a CDM. Then 3 more windows to get rid of the deadwood like Sancho, Mc T, SlabHead etc
Jonny Evans was actually quite decent last season considering his age. He stepped up to the role adequately.
We will miss him 😢
Want to see him really successful in MU.
All its in the past of his old teams.guys lets not forget that players need to be happy emotionally first before he can reach his best and the environment counts aswell.just saying,let's just happy and welcome him,so he can play his best football for us guys😊
He’s not much of a game changer he’s been allowed to leave Juventus and Munich with little to no resistance or hesitation
A much more informed take compared to sky sports earlier today 😅
I would title these Man United related videos "...could be a game changer" instead of "...IS a game changer"! 😂
perfect signing , both of them.Please do one on Maz as well.
The options we have now. Here’s a formation very few have brought up…
Onana
Yoro De Ligt Martinez
Dalot Shaw
Mainoo Casemiro
Fernandes
Hojlund Zirkzee
It’s a whole new dynamic!!! It’s like having 5 defenders, 5 midfielders, 2 wingers and 2 strikers at the same time!
Don't be stupid
aint no way u leaving garnacho or amad..
A fellow FM fan
I myself use a 2 CB on wide cover, 3 dms (1 anchor), RM,LM, 2 inside forwards and a target man/f9
Basically playing rashford, garnacho, amad, Antony and 1 of zirkzee/Fernandez/hojlund
This is real life not FM. Stop being stupid.
@@ronniemoysey8854😂😂
I’d love to see Lisandro at dm with Yoro and De Ligt behind him, Lisandro has all the qualities to be able to play dm and it would mean we could shift into a back 3
Really interesting & data/ example based video. Thanks!
De Ligt has had 8 managers in six years while Ten Haag has had 16 centre backs in three years - they are made for each other!
Didnt expect to see Trek Culture's Adam Clearly talking about Man United 😮. Fandom crossover moment i didnt know i needed
Great analysis. I hope he comes good because that could be the deference between mid-table finish by January and top four challenge come may
De Ligt would've been great for Maresca-ball. Man united just got a really good one here.
Interesting view. I am open minded as the problems at United have been from an open midfield conceding shots. If de Ligt can step into midfield to help then that would sort out a problem. As you say it's up to the manager. A key factor is injuries. Cheers. 🎉
I really love the DeLigt signing. Would've loved a more clinical striker too, but we couldn't wait for one that wouldn't cost the Earth.
Good luck on your run! I have always been skeptical about De Ligt as he didn't really impose himself at Juventus or Bayern. However Adam raises a fair point, having a consistent manager means the style of play would be consistent. So it would make sense he struggles of the managers keep changing.
I just and cautious about United simply buying players whom have previously working under ETH for the sake of it.
That being said we needed a good right sided centre back who still had a few more years to grow before peaking. I still would like united to buy a defensive midfielder and get a left back on loan if possible.
❤Mazroui, Amad, Zirkzee, and Ugarte replacing Luke Shaw, Rashford, Casemero, and Hojlund. Let's Stop the Rashford, Shaw, Casemiro PR and Be Realistic for Once now we are beginning to have a competent Squad for Once..❤
Now this is the right kinda information that everyone needs to look at instead of listening to Sourness also might add that both Juventus and Bayern board members were a mess! Don’t forget how many resigned during that Deligts tenure! Kahn & Nedved to name a few
If Ramon sees this, just know i love you, and i believe in you!
Only question i have is if there's something we dont see behind the scenes. I think everyone would agree that he's better than Eric Dier but why wouldnt be break through Bayern and Netherland starting 11?
Injuries
He was literally playing along side dier, he just had injuries
agreed. I will reserve comments until he has played a fair few matches. I cannot believe anyone would play Dier ahead of De Ligt
I think nationally Van Dijk has more trust from the manager and there is most likely a left sided CB that plays better than De Ligt on the left so him not starting for Netherlands makes sense. When you have two world class CBs it's a good problem to have and just because Van Dijk is a great player, it doesn't mean those behind him on the bench are bad.
Don't forget that Koeman is Netherlands' Southgate who also has clear favorites
We see that Afternoon De Ligt sign there. well done
"They all did the hokey pokey and their form did not turn around heeey".🤣🤣
11:05 man went full Yorkshire there for a sec
good point on ligt a new manager every season and say eth fails and we have a manager change i think that will piss of ligt i really hope eth succeeds
Fine work as always matey. Top level analysis and funny as shit too. Absolute gem 😂
Oh so he's perfect
As long as we don't get to use Evan and maguire ...anybody would seem like an upgrade ..
Great signing and have to build the team up from the back and as long as some of the midfielders are not sold then there is no room yet for the Casimero upgrade.
Cool - United gonna win it all again!
I've always rated De Ligt, really hope he'll do well at United.
As a Dutch person, De Ligt is world class, but he makes mistakes in massive games. That’s a liability and the reason he isnt playing in the National squad
We need a left back and a central midfielder and we are complete for the season
Lets hope de ligt martinez can be our rock and be aggressive. If anyone remembers rio and vidic that what i mean solid will snap there leg if he needs to lol just please no more harry no more liderlot please and no more mctom they needto leave
Love the 2 CB signings and I’d love to get one more on the left. Transform our defense and play further up the pitch. Show Lindelof and Maguire the door. Appreciate what they did but it’s time. Plus, I see De Ligt as a future captain.
It will never not be Weird to see Adam Cleary not talking about CM Punk or Drew McIntyre
I still can’t believe that he’s cheaper than maquire😭
I've got a feeling that there's still more to come in the next few weeks especially if a few players move on, but it's been a better window than most in the last decade at least you can see what they are trying to do, the injury list is annoying but hopefully we'll make a solid start and build from there
We absolutely needed another CB. Possibly two when you consider we've lost Varane & Kambwala. Our backups are Maguire & Evans. Lindelof is probably off & Martinez may get himself kicked again. Need to swap Evans or Maguire for a younger squad CB.
It will be pleasure to see Martinez and De Ligt working together as our center backs.
De ligt today is much bulkier and less agile so makes sense he’s not as much a dribbler
