‘I think it’s a big ask for him. Big pressure.'
Ferdinand not convinced by de Ligt Rio Ferdinand has become the latest Manchester United legend to question the signing of Dutch defender Matthijs de Ligt. United have agreed a deal to sign the centre-half from Bayern Munich for a fee of £38.6million with £4.3million in add-ons. Noussair Mazraoui is also set to move to Old Trafford in a separate deal which is expected to proceed once Aaron Wan-Bissaka completes his move to West Ham United.
De Ligt set become United’s second signing at centre-half ‘Then he goes to Juventus, you look at that and think, great move. A defender going to learn from the likes of Bonucci and Chiellini and all them guys. But it just fills me with disappointment with the way his career has gone since then. ‘I think he had 16 starts last season. Lot of injuries, doesn’t start many games in the las two or three years, and Manchester United are spending 45-50 million pounds on him.
