Yeah, Im no huge advocate of De Ligt. Last season Ajax was an anomaly. Dusan fecking Tadic looked like Messi, as did guys like Vd Beek. Now theyre back to their mortal selves.de Ligt looks like every other posh young wanker from the Netherlands, Slab God's head is fecking legendary. No contest there. In actual footballing terms, current de Ligt joining us would have been the absolute worst move for both parties. A reforming United side and defence, combined with a young starlet centre back with huge pressure in a ridiculously fast paced league where all of your mistakes and flaws are magnified to the nth degree. The main talking point would have been his transfer fee + wages, 'cos there's no way he would have come here and revolutionised the backline as he would have been expected to do.
I think De Ligt will eventually be betterhan Maguire, but for United? You dont rebuild a defense by buying a 19 year old.
Regarding looks, I love Maguire, he has swag. That photo of him looking athis girlfriend in the stands up close is awesoms.
