Wut? No Barca fan even knows who Todibo is. Pique is done within the next 12 months and Umtiti's knee is also done.

+ Lenglet wasn't really meant to be a starter. I've said this like 4 times but Dany sticks to his "guns" Laughing

Lenglet and Umtiti are both left footed so they'll play on the left side CB. De Ligt is right footed.

Piqué is the undisputed CB and some 19 kid from Holland isn't going to make Don Ernesto drop him.

Whereas at City De Ligt could play RCB and Laporte LCB.

BREAKING NEWS: Manchester United have agreed terms with Ajax for the transfer on De Ligt. All that is left is to agree terms with the player and Raiola. #MUFC

United :bow:

lmao that melt wants 10M+ wages at 19 years old. Will fit right in at Utd with that BS.

by Firenze Sat May 25, 2019 4:53 pm

you could afford him if you weren't also signing 29 year old melt's called Griezmann

Video: Matthijs de Ligt in 2018 “I don’t have one specific choice [league to play in] but if I would have to choose I would go for England, Premier League. They have the the greatest footballing atmosphere." #mulive [ajax, @TheEuropeanLad] pic.twitter.com/QG5X071t8n

Incredibly poor career move. All that talk about him being 'mature' reflects poorly on him now. Even Pool would have been a far better move.

Gotta spend that Pogba/De Gea money somewhere I guess tho

by urbaNRoots Sat May 25, 2019 9:04 pm

Is this actually happening, or another case of a player using Man Utd for negotiations with another club?

by S Sat May 25, 2019 9:09 pm

Matthijs De Ligt is very close to joining Manchester United. It’s not quite complete yet but the offer he’s received is said to be ‘irresistible’. (Source: RAC1)

It's happening. Barca can't afford him. THey're offering him peasant wages.

by Doc Sat May 25, 2019 9:59 pm

I hope this happens, don't need Barcelona improving tbh. Don't let this slip Utd.

Still would finish 5th tbh...

Theres no defending that lol 10m a season is Sergio Ramos money. If he actually wants 10+ at 19y/o, he's retarded

Why are Barca a good move? They play trash football and Valverde cant coach for shit. At least with united he gets the extra dosh.

Earn less money to be playing valverde-ball in a weak league were everything he learnt will be coached out of him or earn more money in the most popular club on the planet.

by RealGunner Sat May 25, 2019 11:49 pm

He will be joining the greatest league the universe has ever seen.

Great career move

by Thimmy Sat May 25, 2019 11:59 pm

The one punch league? hmm

by BarrileteCosmico Sun May 26, 2019 12:33 am

this move means he doesn't have any ambition at all, don't want

by Nishankly Sun May 26, 2019 1:20 am

If i were 19 again, I wouldn't pass on chance to play beside Smalling or Phil Jones. Elite mentality.

by Firenze Sun May 26, 2019 1:32 am

10M net
best league in the world
future captain of the biggest club in the world
team where his role models have been legends

great move

can't wait to win it all with him

lot of jelly in this thread, I'm sure I'll be seeing some of you in the EL knockouts next season :coffee:

Is De Ligt headed to #MUFC? That was one of the most asked questions on this week's #AskGuillem, so I checked some more and this is what I've heard.

Please tell me what ambition he would have joining a siesta league where Messi covers less ground than Ter Stegen but when facing Liverpool he is gassed after 30 mins.

In the prem he would be playing in by far the be4st league in the world, not some joke of a league like laliga where the worst barca side since rijkaard era is walking this trash league and Valencia are dismantling them in the copa.

What does he gain going to barca? He wont win cl anytime soon so more ambition is to win a worthless laliga that even your own fans dont gaf about? Or he could join a giant rebuilding and play in hands down the best league atm. FFS he has more of a chance winning a cl at ajax than barca atm.

Far easier to play for barca than united atm, except in cl where you guys embarrass yourself every year and concede 3 goals every season in the away leg.

by BarrileteCosmico Sun May 26, 2019 4:19 am

Ambition enough to want to win the CL, as opposed to want to play in a team that settles for 6th Thumbs up

Surprised Man U still have the pulling power, they are going all in for this one... on the other hand I can see us missing out and decline into mediocracy, since Valverde seems like staying and the board is acting like the same.
