Erik ten Hag's squad has undergone some changes this summer, and it seems that former Manchester United player Dwight Yorke has some strong opinions about it. Yorke believes that the club made a mistake by selling right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka to West Ham for £15m, and replacing him with new signing Noussair Mazraoui from Bayern Munich for £12.8m plus add-ons.
In an interview with Lord Ping, Yorke expressed his concerns about Mazraoui, stating that he doesn't think the player is an improvement on Wan-Bissaka. He also criticized the way Wan-Bissaka was used at United, calling it "slightly unprofessional." Yorke believes that Wan-Bissaka's defensive abilities were not utilized to their full potential, and that he would have stuck with him if given the choice.
Yorke's comments come after Wan-Bissaka's impressive performance for West Ham in their 2-0 win against Crystal Palace on Saturday. The former Palace player was praised by Arsenal legend and football pundit Ian Wright for his involvement in the first goal. Wright commended Wan-Bissaka for his defensive skills and how he was able to create an opportunity for his team.
While Yorke may have some reservations about Mazraoui, it seems that United have made their decision and are moving forward with their new signing. Only time will tell if Mazraoui will be able to live up to the expectations set by Wan-Bissaka and prove Yorke wrong. In the meantime, United fans can stay up to date with all the latest news and analysis by signing up for updates on the club's website.
