De Ligt ok, Mazaroui is a crock

CBs being done for pace happens so much more rarely than people think. It’s just not something they’re exposed to.
Might stick on some Sean Paul to celebrate this.
“Jus’ gimme De Ligt, next to Dalot”
He’ll be quality for us.

Please no. Can we just play our best centre back at centre back? He's absolutely not a midfielder, despite being comfortable on the ball for a defender
I am De-ligted with this signing
Boom goes the dynamite
Yea I think ETH dismissed that idea a while back but agree to with you it would be interesting to see.
He played in a very high line with Ajax in 18/19 with very attacking fullbacks (Mazraoui, Tagliafico), Daley Blind next to him and Schone and De Jong in front of him..
Please don't be another Hargreaves.
Force, strength, personality, dedication, perseverance, leadership, airforce and solid (not exceptional, but ajax educated) build up skills..
Fantastic. @Regulus Arcturus Black, never in doubt!
Martinez, De Ligt, Maguire and Yoro sounds like a strong selection of defenders to me, hopeful this will be a really good signing.
Between all of the crocks, I’m hoping they piece together enough time on the pitch to avoid playing casemiro at CB. That’s how low my expectations are.
Pretty good price, let's hope he gets his career back on track
I just don’t want to see lindelof or maguire starting. I feel like that’s a low bar
Mazraoui is great. Can play left and right and has a very good balance between offensive and defensive capabilities. Bayern has too many right backs. We lost Pavard and loaned out Stanisic - and then had an injury crisis in which we bought Boey from Galatasaray in a winter transfer. And Kimmich was brought back from midfield to right back when Kroos decided to come back for the national team. Now Stanisic is back after playing very good in Leverkusen, there is Mazraoui, Boey - and even if Kimmich plays midfield again we have Laimer who will not get much playing time in midfield who is good at right back, too.
Maguire and strong shouldn’t be in the same sentence. If we want to win he shouldn’t be part of the team. Thats the harsh truth.
I love these CAF myths
Nah, he’s a good player. Dependable and experienced, I think we’d struggle to find a better squad player.
Or maybe Bayern got wind of potential jail time for the car ramming incident?
He was comfortably our best centre back last season. He's more than good enough as backup.
He's had one season at Bayern where he wasn't a starting centreback. Won cups and leagues in Holland, Italy and Germany and is 24. What is there about his "career" he needs to get back on track?
Very happy about this.
He'll add their wages for their entire contracts on to those figures and run a huge headline
"UNITED SPLASH OUT HALF A BILLION ON BAYERN CASTOFFS!"
Well, seems we're about to find out one or another soon enough!
I think I bet my caf account on this one.
Some moves are just blindingly obvious and the idea we’d put Yoro under the pressure of being the main main man instantly always sounded absolute nonsensical. Now 3 top CB’s will get to share a 60 game season, perfect.
De Lift we need!
Massive upgrade to Lindelof so that should be good. He looked quite good against Arsenal and even against Madrid.
Not a very good driver though, allegedly
Yoro, Martinez and De Ligt looks promising on paper.
Bring in Hermoso and it gives durability in the event of an injury crisis.
Can't see why the club would intend to keep Maguire however, with Evans behind (who performed decently last season) he should be surplus to requirements but it could have been a shootout between him and Lindlelof with Victor being selected as the outlier to leave.

Huge signing.
Good they shouldn't be in the golf course during the season anyway.
Let's f-ing go. We absolutely needed this one.
He wasn't good enough to play 6 for ten Hag in the Erie divisie. There is zero chance it happens at United.
Being pushed out the door for barely half the price they paid. Something mustive went wrong somewhere
Yes it's their finances.
Even Bayern Munich understand now that we are not run by bloody Woody anymore. This is excellent business by Ineos. Fair market rate, nothing more nothing less. Most importantly we have now changed our image of getting rinse by every clubs
It's been discussed quite a few times here but I think the narrative he was a bust at Juve really stuck around (I heard it then, I read it now) even if the reality is more nuanced and the expectations were crazy high (not unlike Maguire : Monster fee & big hype).
Some people seemingly take him changing clubs a lot as a sign he's not convincing anywhere. I think it's a little slanted because he rose so young. Wouldn't be looked at the same if he exploded a few years later and moved to 3 major clubs at 28-29.

Fantastic news! Still very young and should continue to improve.
Good luck to him. Wish him the best. Always liked his attitude towards the game. You can tell he’s in it for the right reasons and really enjoys it.
However I remain skeptical wether he will ever take that next step necessary to justify the fees and wages he commands.
