Speaking about the deal, Souness said: "I have doubts about Dricht, he didn't get a chance to play during the European Championship. Dericht has played for two big clubs, and the two big clubs are usually not like to sell players, which is saying something. He did have his highlight moments before, but has he improved since then? I'm not sure he's the type of player Manchester United need at the moment.
"Jonny Evans made 23 appearances for United, which proves that United desperately need to bring in a central defender. Looking at Dericht, I don't think he is a big signing, the most important thing for a centre-back is the ability to defend.
"It seems that the manager and the management of Manchester United want everything to start from the back, also in the goalkeeper position, is Onana really a better goalkeeper than David de Gea? Although de Gea's foot technique is not very good, but his goal-line technique is better than Onana. You can see a slight drop in the quality of the players, but United seem to want to get them back to their old form, but that strategy doesn't seem to be working."
