Manchester United's developments in the transfer market continue to attract the attention of fans and media. According to the latest news, United have reached an agreement with Dutch center back De Ligt on personal terms, but both sides have yet to agree on a transfer fee with Bayern. However, the news has not been recognized by all, with former United midfielder Scholes expressing doubts about de Ligt's ability in a recent interview.
Scholes believes that Dellihert's performances at Juventus and Bayern Munich have not lived up to expectations, casting doubt on his strengths. He bluntly stated, "It has to be a big concern for me that Dellihert hasn't started at Bayern, especially when Dyer is ahead of him in all the starting order." Scholes further pointed out that United spend huge sums of money to bring in players and it should be based on the actual performance of the players rather than their past experience together. He mentioned that de Ligt did not show enough strength when he was at Juventus and has now failed to establish himself at Bayern, which raises doubts about his ability to get a foothold at United.
Manchester United has been actively seeking to strengthen its lineup in the transfer market, especially after the departure of Varane, the center back position has become the team's urgent need to replenish the short board. Although United has already signed Jolo from Lille, it is clear that the club's reinforcement of the center back position has not stopped. As a former player of Ten Hagar's at Ajax, Delicht has been in close contact with United, which has led to persistent rumors of his transfer.
However, Scholes' doubts have certainly added variables to United's reinforcement program. As a former United player, Scholes' opinion undoubtedly carries some weight. His doubts about de Ligt's ability may make United more cautious in deciding whether to bring in the Dutch center-back. At the same time, it also reminds United that they need to pay more attention to the actual performance and potential of the players when attracting new players, rather than just relying on their past experience together or the market heat.
