The Myth About Matthijs De Ligt

The signing of Matthijs De Ligt is one that should get Manchester United fans excited. This is a player we’ve been linked to so many times in the past. There’s good reason for it too. He’s a stalwart defensive general, and I think we’re going to see that relatively quickly in a United shirt. There’s a myth that seems to be following De Ligt over to Manchester, and it’s a
negative narrative being spun by the media and on socials. The myth suggests that De Ligt is an injury prone, failed centre-half at Juventus and Bayern Munich. There’s a lot more to it than that...

Bayern fan here, love your channel, you guys got a player and a gem ! He's going to commands the defense and infuse energy and interact with fans like Martinez does. We will miss him very much !

[Gistreel]

Bayern fan here ❤ believe what you want but de ligt is a monster in defense and without a shadow of doubt he’ll easily become fan favorite before the season ends. That’s how good he is

[manni]

The pundits comments on De Ligt qre exactly the reason why fans prefer to watch content created by fans like Howson and others. They know nothing and are dinosaurs

[Prime-R]

Noussair Mazraoui+Matthijs de Ligt
Both for around 51m ♡
Fantastic business ✧
Mazraoui will surprise many
Top signing/great fit all-round

De Ligt what a player!
Can't believe we've signed him ♥️
Proper leader!
Made captain at a young age
For a young CB (not the norm)

Big lad 2! Powerful!
Yet technically adept ☆
Intelligent football brain
Ability to read the game
Great positioning & awareness
Etc.

GGMU 🔴

Those saying he was benched for dier didn’t realise de light played along side dier for majority of diers matches 🫣

[Nightsu]

We got Mazraoui, Yoro and De Ligt for approximately the cost of Branthwaite.
The exact deal we needed not the overrated Branthwaite who's only real strength is aerially and pace.
Hopefully next year we go for Hincapie/Schlotterbeck for LCB/LB.

[hussey]

I still can't believe Yoro, De ligt and Martinez are our CB options. UTFR 🇾🇪

[yushpeaceandlove]

I am so glad you made this video. This whole "Eric Dier took his place" narrative falls flat when you look at the numbers last season. Dier played at most 15 games last season - 13 of which he started with de ligt.

[AaronBuff-vh]

Did anyone hear that Tim Sherwood said that he doubted De Ligt was better than Maguire, clown 🤡

[willbowen]

It is mad how everyone is saying that this guy is a flop.
He came from Ajax, he played at Juventus and learned from Chiellini and Bonucci, moved to Bayern and learned the German way of passing from the back (very Dutch).
Honestly, whenever I hear these guys on ESPN or Sky Sports it just annoys me...they clearly just watch one league OR they (ESPN) have such of an anti-United agenda that it makes me wanna check the 2007-2013 archives to see what the heck they said about Ferguson and United when we won everything for jokes

[DcapTNT]

The way old man united stars talked about de Ligt is exactly why ManU failed in past transfer windows. Always look at the bright shining players to buy. Manchester City bought a premier league fallen, injury proned player named Kevin de bruyne, and now he become one of the most success player in the football history. So I would disregard most of their opinions because frankly they are quite about of touch, their measure still in the early 2000s.

[We_R_Yanited]

I really do hope you put Rio in his place about his comments on De Ligt

[davidramjee]

De Ligt has had a different manager every year since 2016. 8 different managers in 8 seasons😭 that will hamper any players development, Sarri, Pirlo and Allegri all different. We’ve signed a gem and at 24 it’s perfect timing to snap him up🔥 thankfully he’s worked with the gaffer before and when playing for ETH he carried the ball a lot!

[DopeBoyMUFC]

Yoro alone is a massive upgrade to our defense, but now De Ligt aswell. What a massive difference from last year it is.

[WDWelly]

This signing raise the floor, not necessarily the ceiling which I am all for. Our floor should be a 6/10, a performance that can still beat a mid to low level team 1-0, not the utterly terrible performances last season. I think to raise the ceiling we need game changers in midfield and attack but primarily midfield. Great signing especially for the price

[StrangeTruth]

I expected nothing less from the haters and pundits but Rio and Scholes reactions were odd..this is a good deal ..Bayern fans are fuming that he's sold.

[Ahmed]

Had we signed branthwaite, the media would've started talking shit about him regardless of the fee

[atverde]

I remember there was similar scepticism when L****pool signed VvD. Turned out he was a gem for them.

[Jamie-tw]

Most of the time, it is simply lazy journalism. That's it

[RichardHarrison-vusq]

Ste iv wanted him at utd since his Ajax days, he's ready made for the prem and is a future utd captain 1000%, brilliant work by Ineos for there first window
