With Euro 2024 reaching its final stages, attention turns to the summer transfer window and one of the big rumoured moves could be Matthijs de Ligt swapping Bayern Munich for Manchester United.
The defender is currently in Germany with the Netherlands squad but has been heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford ahead of next season.
However, speaking to Poker Sites, former Red Devil Teddy Sheringham revealed he isn't convinced De Ligt is the right signing for United and they should be profiling a different calibre of player.
“I don’t know if Matthijs de Ligt would be a good addition to the United defence,” he said.
“I think United need some experience in their back line, ideally someone with Premier League experience. He’s obviously a very good player and we all remember him from his time at Ajax, but I don’t think he should be the number one priority at the moment for the club.
“United need strengthening all over the pitch. They need leaders on the field – I can’t believe they weren’t in for either Harry Kane or Declan Rice last year. They don’t need tricky wingers or bit-part players in the club, they need leaders who are going to change the whole ethos of the club and how they approach their games.
"There were a lot of times last season where I thought they were missing that in crucial moments, so they need to go out and sign that calibre of player.”
