Wan Bissaka is a red he hates scousers <3
Agreed.Welcome, think he'll be a very good long term signing. Also side note - nice to see a normal announcement and not some cringey video or catch phrase or whatever.
This is not a criticism of AWB by the way, but his numbers are incredibly inflated because of the side he played in. United defenders don't need to defend as much — even when United plays as badly as we did last season. Those tackling/intercepting/dribbled past stats are amongst the most useless stats in football, as they mean next to nothing without the context.Tweet

Wow, Young was really shite eh ?
Lack of defending as a unit seen United concede a massive 54 goals last season.This is not a criticism of AWB by the way, but his numbers are incredibly inflated because of the side he played in.

Agree. It isn’t really his fault he’s being asked to play there, is he meant to turn around and say no?Just old and definitely out of position, he’s a top professional. Hopefully no more personal attacks on him now we have AWB.
We conceded the second most amount of goals among the top 10 last season after WHU (55 goals).This is not a criticism of AWB by the way, but his numbers are incredibly inflated because of the side he played in.

Wan-Bissaka did pretty much as well as he could defensively considering the situation though.
Obviously with Bissaka in place of Young we would've most certainly conceded less, but the fact that Palace spent more time defending (which does inflate defender's stats if he is playing well) still remains. Wan-Bissaka was great, Young was shit, but that particular stat comparison is not the way to judge that in my opinion.Lack of defending as a unit seen United concede a massive 54 goals last season.
Palace conceded 53 goals.
Maybe with some more tackles, interceptions and less dribbling past, we would have conceded less? (Not just blaming Young, by the way).
If he did he'd gone public about the Glazers bleeding us dry. He's more in love with his career and image than United.Tweet

Gotta love Rio,he bleeds red through and through
Conceded goals and the time spent defending are not the same thing.We conceded the second most amount of goals among the top 10 last season after WHU (55 goals).
It means we had a massive problem defensively which is what Young stats indicate.Conceded goals and the time spent defending are not the same thing.
Of all the jobs Ole has on his to do list, I truly hope this is right at the bottom.I wish Ole sorts out the numbering mess we have. Number 2 should be RB, not the CB. Nonetheless, welcome kid and I hope you stay here for years to come. Great talent and a good transfer imo.

We did have a massive problem defensively, but that's not what Young's stats indicate. Unless, of course, you think that City and Liverpool struggled defensively last season. And, again, Young did played very badly, I'm not arguing against that.It means we had a massive problem defensively which is what Young stats indicate.
I'm not saying you don't have a point that AWB was playing in a more defensive team, but that Young stats are terrible and not just due to United not needing to defend much, it's because he himself is terrible defensively.We did have a massive problem defensively, but that's not what Young's stats indicate.

I wouldn't get your hopes up, or Manchester United are going to unpleasantly surprise you with their next center back signing.Delighted with this. Now let's get a central defender and our defense is sorted.
