I think he has what it takes to be a decent Premier League centre-half, but I suspect that it won't be at Manchester United. The fan-base at Old Trafford is going through that delusional transition when a once-great club is on the slide: they reckon they are entitled to a better quality of player that the ones they currently have. Axel will be in the defence the next time they get dicked three or four by Liverpool or Citeh and his shaky performance will have the fans on his back. Confidence shot, he'll end up back out on loan and in a season or two join a club in a similar position to where we are now.
I thought the message was pretty clear that We will not develop other teams players but instead buy and develop our own.
Axel back on loan seems to be gathering pace, with an option to buy would be good as well.

No point paying stupid money. This not only fills a need. It reunites a defensive partnership with already very good and developing chemistry. It also buys us time if indeed we cannot keep AT long term.
