Erik ten Hag 'couldn't wait' to drop one defender for summer transfer Matthijs de Ligt, according to Manchester United legend Paul Scholes.
Ten Hag was desperate to get his new signing involved Manchester United legend Paul Scholes says Erik ten Hag ‘couldn’t wait’ to drop Harry Maguire from his starting XI and bring in Matthijs de Ligt. Former club captain Maguire started the season as a first-choice centre-half alongside Lisandro Martinez, having got a full pre-season under his belt after recovering from an injury that cost him his place in England’s Euro 2024 squad.
‘He couldn’t wait to get de Ligt straight in ahead of Maguire, he was just waiting for the opportunity,’ Scholes told The Overlap Fan Debate. ‘And look, in all honestly, I’m not sure it is that much of an upgrade. De Ligt has been a commanding presence the last two games ‘He might be slightly better but he is not a massive improvement where you think, “wow”’.
