Paul Scholes isn't convinced by Matthijs de Ligt just yet.
De Ligt joined Manchester United from Bayern Munich over the summer and stepped into the Red Devils' starting lineup, displacing former United captain Harry Maguire from the back line.
It's a move that will make the Red Devils' defence younger, with De Ligt having turned 25 last month while Maguire is now 31 years old.
However, Scholes has yet to see what manager Erik ten Hag does in De Ligt, and he's labelled the Netherlands international as "slightly better" than Maguire.
After watching De Ligt against winless Southampton earlier this month, Scholes said he's still waiting to be impressed by the former Ajax, Juventus and Bayern man.
“Erik ten Hag couldn’t wait to get Matthijs de Ligt instead of Harry Maguire, he was just waiting for the opportunity," Scholes said on The Overlap Fan Debate, brought to you by Sky Bet.
"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.”
