Paul Scholes’ son tells Ajax captain Matthijs de Ligt not to join Manchester United ‘because we’re w***’
The 19-year-old defender has been linked with a £75million move to Old Trafford along with Europe’s other top clubs
Paul Scholes’ son has told Ajax captain Matthijs de Ligt not to join Manchester United - because they're 'w*** and have a team full of bell****'.
The 19-year-old is being chased by a host of Europe’s top clubs, including United, Barcelona, Juventus, Liverpool, Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich.
Ajax boss Erik ten Hag expects his star man to join either Barca or Bayern this summer.
Manchester United are in desperate need of a commanding centre-half after shipping 51 goals so far this season, the most of any top six club in the Premier League.
And £75million-rated De Ligt could be the man to solve United’s defensive woes.
But Scholes’ son, Arron, believes the Holland international is better off in Barcelona.
He tweeted: “As much as I’d love to see De Ligt at United, I wouldn’t even wish that on him.
“Go to Barca and enjoy your career mate because we’re w*** and have a team full of b***ends.”
A run of just two wins from seven league games has put United’s top-four hopes in jeopardy.
