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."
