the kid is so good and so much character and a natural leader
Matthijs de Ligt / signs for Juventus, lowering their average age to 56
- Thread starter Suedesi
- Start date
-
In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

He's excellent, pains me that we probably won't get him.
Thought about backing to him to score at half time that’s what type of guy he is, shades of Keane Juve (albeit stakes a lot lower here) but there are few players who drag you back into a game after their own clusterfeck, especially now at united
All those people who say for certain we won't get him... Who are we going to get then? Certainly one CB is coming.
Maguire?
I wouldn’t bank on that.
Woodward probably thinks we are sorted now that he secured the services of Smalling and young against the interest shown by Barca and Madrid
We'd also need to find someone who can actually cross the ball/take corners.
I really do not think that is certain by any means.
Could only find Rashford's
He has top personality. From veing num tegged by Sancho to conceding penalty to scoring the goal and going onto dominate thereafter only the top minded can do. Defiantly worth even 100 m
This one goes to City I think.
Well so the question is: if no CB is coming should I watch MU games next season?
Somebody at the club should be in The Hague if we aren’t at least trying to get him
Gotta love those “num tegs”!
Break the bank for him. Absolute class.
Showed his class in the end with a goal and some top blocks and tackles. He looks 24 out there.
Watching his friend De Jong, it feels like he should follow him but at the same time I feel he'd enjoy the Premier League.
One big problem if we're lucky enough to sign him, who the feck can put in the corners? Hope other signings have the ability, would be criminal to not supply him decent corners.

Absolute monster of a character this kid.
Get it done Ed. Whatever it takes.
Painful we are missing out on such a talent.
The Mbappe of defenders. We will be kicking ourselves if we don't go all out for him. Generational talent.
I'm not seeing any post match muppetry with English players 
Sadly, I just don't think we're in a place to attract him.
Will be joining the Mbappe of forwards at PSG then
We wave a stack of bills at his agent
Break every bank for him. If only money could do it...
I hope he comes to the Premiership.
His talents would be wasted in Spain.

Apparently it's France we've to worry about. I refuse to believe PSG can tempt De Ligt but we can't.
Still don't think that'll be enough, especially if PSG are sniffing.
If we cant get De Ligt or Koulibaly,the two most prominently linked players,I honestly dont think Ole will bring in a top CB.
De Ligt is just using us to get better pay from PSG or Barca.
He's really great at headers, and positioning in general, and has a calm head, but he struggles with pace, esp. fast players with good technique (Vinicius, Sancho), that's gotta be his only downside. He has to consider that in choosing his next club, I think Barca suits him fine as Pique has been generally successful, despite the lack of pace.
His lack of pace is his clear weakness. But if he's paired with a fast CB, then he should be fine.
This is fundamentally going to fuel disappointment. Clear as day he's heading to La Liga.
I bet he doesn't want to play against Rashford...
It's on.
It's on.
Wish he would just make his mind up between PSG & Barca,everyone is bored of this saga now
Champions league football would have given us a chance without it we are wasting our time
How many prominent players have signed without CL football recently ?
Also the fact he is 19 not 29...
Great post by the way.
Really highlights the muppet lifestyle we live and breathe.
If he goes to PSG, that is just plain sad. Not saying we deserve his look right now, but I do believe there is something to being the player(s) that turn United around and take us back to fighting at the top.
