Manchester United will be quietly confident with the transfers completed during the summer transfer window.
Five first-team ready players were brought in, all of whom improved crucial areas for Manchester United, with the heart of defence undergoing the most significant revamp.
Leny Yoro was signed, and the 18-year-old is a significant acquisition to the team, since he is regarded as a true generational prospect at centre-half.
However, Yoro sustained an injury in pre-season, leaving choices in short supply, prompting the signing of Matthijs de Ligt from Bayern Munich, who was previously regarded as a generational potential.
De Ligt’s time with Erik ten Hag at United has not gone well, with the team losing two of its first three games. Now, following a horrible international break, De Ligt has been hammered by an Ajax great.
Rafael van der Vaart blasts Matthias de Ligt
With the international break over and club football returning in 48 hours, fans will be hoping to see United bounce back from their setback to Liverpool by defeating Southampton.
De Ligt will be eager to impress, as the defender has had a difficult first few games for the club.
However, in an interview with The Sun, Rafael van der Vaart slammed Matthijs de Ligt’s development as a player while simultaneously praising his talent.
