Scholes Questions De Ligt Signing
Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has cast doubt over the club’s decision to sign Matthijs de Ligt from Bayern Munich. The former midfielder expressed concerns about the Dutch defender’s suitability for the Premier League and questioned the wisdom of spending £43 million on a player who struggled to secure a regular place at both Juventus and Bayern Munich.
Scholes suggested that Erik ten Hag might have made a mistake in prioritizing De Ligt over other defensive options, particularly given the presence of Eric Dier in the squad. The outspoken pundit believes the signing represents a significant gamble for the club.
