On August 12, according to the Mirror, Manchester United legend Ferdinand has some doubts about the Red Devils signing De Ligt, joining former United player Scholes in questioning the deal.
The report stated that with Varane injured for months, Manchester United is urgently looking for a center-back, but Ferdinand believes, “Since leaving Ajax, De Ligt has been disappointing at Bayern, injuries have hindered his further development. Considering his injury situation, is it wise to invest £45-50 million in him? Can he make a difference at Manchester United?”
In addition, Ferdinand also mentioned, “I think it’s a big challenge for him, after all, all eyes will be on him. The pressure is huge for him, and the opportunity is also huge. Of course, I think there are a lot of uncertainties in this signing, because his previous performance at two big clubs wasn’t as good as we expected.”
Previously, Scholes had bluntly stated, “He (De Ligt) came to us almost like a second-rate defender.”
