Scholes: De Ligt is not a significant improvement over Maguire, says Ansser Sadiq

He specifically mentioned former Ajax and Bayern Munich center half Matthijs De Ligt as a player who may not live up to the high expectations of fans.

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."
