Scholes says De Ligt is 'not that much of an upgrade' on Maguire
Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has given a damning verdict on a new signing.
Scholes was asked about a few of the moves that United have made in the summer.
He singled out former Ajax and Bayern Munich centre-half Matthijs De Ligt as one who may not be as good as fans are expecting.
Scholes stated on The Overlap: "Erik ten Hag couldn't wait to get Matthijs de Ligt instead of Harry Maguire, he was just waiting for the opportunity.
“I'm not sure it’s that much of an upgrade – De Ligt played against Southampton, Maguire would have been fine against Southampton.
“He might be slightly better, but it's not a massive improvement where you think, 'Wow'. It’s like that with all the signings."
