Honestly, I think De Jong to Manchester United is a good deal and despite the huge price tag placed on him it is still worth the money and stress so far in getting the deal. He is a good midfielder, he controls the ball fine and has good passing accuracy but I think they also need to work hard on recruiting defenders cause their defending was very poor last season and need to replace some dead woods with young and fast defenders.
I am not sure if the money really worths it. I mean they could have gotten some other players for that much bag don't you think? It looks like they are going to be pretty cash strapped if they end up putting it on all one player. They will of course be fine, but they won't be able to do any more transfers or at least not big names at all.
Considering all the jokes were about their defense, mainly maguire, last year then it should be clear that they should have considered spending some of that money on buying a defender as well and if they spend this much on De Jong, they can't get a big name to defense at all, hence why it will still be a problem.
I do agree that De Jong would be a great signing, but he doesn’t solve Manchester United’s midfield problem so I wonder if they’ll recruit one more midfielder. Lastly instead of buying a centre back now they’re buying a
and a centre back, because we are really weak in those areas.
