Great video AJ
I was so excited that United are linked with De Ligt, Branthwaite and Zirkzee until I discovered one of them didn't make his country's Euro team, and the other two haven't played a minute despite being fit.
I agree with AJ here – i also don't want to compare him with maguire but I don't see the point in having both of them in the squad. he's a much better version of maguire but I still think we need a todibo type cb.
I have signed the Bayern Fans' petition to keep de ligt at the club form two of my google accounts!
The last time I saw de liĝt play was for the Netherlands and he gave away a pealty
Average wide channel defender
Not suitable to play in highline
So passive which attracts more attacks
Not a good buildup defender
Sometimes caught positioning in box
I disagree with the comparison with Maguire (and btw, I think Maguire is underrated). I think Maguire in one on one defense is better and he's also better in the air, but the Ligt is better capable of a high line defense and in posession he's much better. What makes the key difference imo, is that he will make himself available for Onana to receive first pass and progress the play. He is excellent high volume passer (short passes, not long ones). This would be the last year to cash in on Maguire, so I would sell him. I am unsure De ligt is a good idea, but mostly because of injuries concerns.
How did he fall out of favour when he played in the quarter and semi final of champions league
i think the plan was buy CB that doing aerial, have speed but also good on the ball, thats why our first target was Branthwaite and Todibo, but both go downfall so what that is more needed? i think especially if Casemiro go, our starting 11 is quite short, i think De Ligt get us the most with the money but if we really gonna buy another CB i'll take someone like Calafiori with pace and very good to progress the ball and also can play as LB to cover both Martinez and Shaw, even rotate with them
dont worry about comparing man…Maguire is a good player just not as De Ligt…so its alright
Is he fast as flash???
De Ligt knows how to play with a high line; Harry Maguire, on the other hand, does not. That's the key difference. He is not the same profile of player.
Todibo /De ligt is the r8 type of RCB for ETH…..Manutd is gonna play from the back if our CB's keep fit for the whole season..
What I worry is his high salary which might cause problems in dressing room. if he willing to lower his salary I will be happy.
Need to go back to his old hair cut, the auraaaa
Finally the Dutch take over has begun!
De ligt❤
Welcome to OLD TRAFFORD <3
Am sorry but i have a BIG DOUBT about him
Brother if you could do a rating of his potential and current and expected level ability it would be much better for instance if you think deligt can be one of the best center backs of his generation then give a 75-79 rating and if you think he will surprass his generation and erans comparison with other generation then 80-84 and if you think he will be one of the greatest center backs of all time then give him 85+ rating it would be a much better insight
Please make a review about Ugarte
De ligt, todibo and hato.
Sell maguire, lindelof and wan bissaka.
If our legal team can find a way to get todibo and de ligt 😍. Erik will get the best of him and martinez would be his partner. At £42million….yes please
De Ligt is not as good as Varane in any category tbh. So… it looks we are paying alot for a player that is worse than the one that was let go for free. INCLUDING WAGES!
De Ligt is 10 times better than Branthwaite who failed in Dutch league and hasn't done wonders in PL, I don't know why were we even trying to buy him, De Ligt's only problem is his wages
Harrijs Magligt
United fans are overthinking this… let's get the man in… he'll be great for us. 🙄 … injuries happen, build a squad! Like we always have done and now sit and watch City with two Starting 11s 😒😒
De Ligt will be mint
He be Manu new Van Dijk
my worries are not buying players but selling instead why aren't we start selling players like Casemiro or sell at least one defender before buying one
Onana, Martinez and De Ligt know each other well… that can only be good… will allow everyone to play to their strengths
You actually said that Martinez is not good in the air 😂 … stop drinking the Koolaid… in his last Eridivisie season he topped the division in aerial duels despite his height … and I'm his first session at United, no other defender did better… so no, Licha is definitely not poor in the air. He makes up for his height (which is actually 5'10" 🧐) by positioning and timing as well as a seriously good leap.
Bayern fans have started a petition to stop him being sold. They love him ❤
what if INEOS are banking on winning the case with the court of arbitration and the system for next season could be a back 3? it’s not likely but possible, and de ligt martinez and todibo at the back would be amazing
If you don't like this signing you need to de ligt my balls
De Ligt and Josh and Ugarte seems like the weakest window in quite some time I’m not much hype on any maybe Ugarte soo hard to tell since he plays for the best team in a very underwhelming league
Why nobody discussing about our medical team and previous seasons injury records
If we can get him for 40m pounds it’s a no brainer
As we need another cb too
This would be United their first topplayer in the squad. Quality is more important then profile. Thereby Martinez is for the build up and De Ligt is for the defense and the physical.
For the first time am i will not agree with you on this because for me I believe De ligt is far far far better than harry Maguire he is a world class player but Maguire is not…. the only issue he got is that he chose a wrong club at first wen he chose to go to Juventus he was in a different style of play which wasn't fit for him…he had to go mancity, Barcelona,liverpool,baryern before tuchel etc but he chose a wrong club on the first site
Hope it happens
I just shiver that next season we will be having deglit&margure… both slow & heavily built OR back to Maguire & Evans because deglit&martinaz are injury prone… it looks like this season injuries taught us nothing
If i can give you some advice, there´s a bit of echo in your sound, don´t know if its mike quality or the room. Re the content, amazing keep up man.
Don't watch him that much, can he be a Varane replacement?. He was bought as a Varane replacement. If he can fulfill that role and stay fit, than it is a good transfer.
"Lisandro Martinez quite poor in the air"?? I don't know if the only football you watch is on stats pages because that's a damn lie. I give you he's not a heading monster like Maguire but he's certainly not "poor" and I've seen him win many headers when up against players much taller than him. I've played football myself for 25 years and watched football on TV since the 70'ties and I've seen many players who are quite poor at heading like myself – but Martinez is certainly not one of them in spite of his height.
@AjAnalysis great content as always. Main debate in the comment section is :
First – whether is a better signing than brainthwaite.
Second- whether he runs a risk of being injury prone.
Martinez has missed more games in one season than Delight in three seasons. And yet martinez is not injury prone. He faces recurring injury on same location of his body same to deligt and thus can be managed through change of technique or shift of body weight. It shouldn't be aa worry.
Im his comparison with brainthwaith…deligt brings immense experience in the team given that he has played in the top clubs that are in the top leagues of the world sheds light also to his leadership and mentality. The locker room needs this type of personality against challenging big teams like man city. Brainthwaith is far below him in this respect. And skills too, delight is the most preffered in build up and tactical flexibility.
If he joins man United he will be worse than our next academy player up within 12 months.
“Lisandro Martinez who’s quite poor in the air”
Man is short but uses his body brilliantly to counter.
You’re a casual.
I don't think we have enough money if we need another defender and DM and a ST if we were to sign him. (2x CD – one to replace Varane & one to replace Maguire)
U said no for De Ligt so I'm curious to know who u had in mind instead?
Lmao this is a Glazer signing
He's maguire 2.0 all be it with less mistakes. But the pace is still the same issue and on to that injury it's a poor singing. We need to stay away from unathletic defenders. Plus the signing has ETH fingerprints all over it and the less said about that the better😅
PS aj claiming he has recovery pace when he's not even a step faster than maguire😂 😂😂
