Transfer: Eric Dier benched him at Bayern – Scholes slams Ten Hag over Man Utd’s latest signing …C0NTINUE READING HERE >>>
Former Manchester United midfielder, Paul Scholes, has questioned the club’s decision to sign Matthijs de Ligt for Erik ten Hag.
DAILY POST reports that De Ligt, along with Noussair Mazraoui, joined Manchester United from Bayern Munich in a combined £60 million deal.
They signed De Ligt for £43 million, and it is a figure that hasn’t gone down well with Scholes.
Scholes questioned De Ligt’s quality, describing the Dutchman as a mere second class defender.
“You know what? Manchester United are talking about bringing players who won’t get in their team,” Scholes said, according to Manchester Evening News.
“He’s not played for them. That’s a big concern for me, especially when Eric Dier’s playing in front of him.
“I’m not joking; that is a massive concern for me. You’re bringing in players for £40million, £50million, okay, just because he’s played for them three or four years ago.
“Juventus got rid of him; he wasn’t good enough at Juventus, he obviously hasn’t been good enough for Bayern Munich. He’s coming to us almost like a second-rate defender now.”
