On another note about Khusanov and center-backs in general, I do think that football is getting too young if that makes sense.
Kind of unrealistic how young players are discussed about and bought at 20yo then expected to perform straight away as starters.

Key words salad. There's more too Khusanov's profile than what mee the eye in those Comps.
This, as you know, is Ibrahima Konaté, 25 yo as we speak, arguably (if you ask me, you can cut the arguably but let's be consensual) top 5 best defenders in the world. Brought in by Liverpool at 22.
First season : 11 starts in the league. Most of them alongside VVD, some with Matip, one with Gomez and one with Phillips. No injuries that season
Second season was full of injuries.
Last season he missed 8 games to injuries. Started 17 times in the league.
Nothing was rushed, he started shadowing an established top pair of CBs so he didn't HAVE to deliver right away.
Gabriel bought at 23. He had to deliver right away with 57 PL starts across his first 2 seasons for Arsenal. Before celebrating corner kicks like goals, lots of Arsenal fans talked about moving on from him to win something. 26 yo now, delivering as a top class cb.
Militao : bought at 21 by Madrid, Was a third option behind Ramos-Varane in his first season, then played 15 games as Varane and Nacho had the most starts in Madrid's defense in his second season
Became a nailed on starter in his third season...
Last one in date : Bisseck. Bought at 22. 9 league starts last season, 2 in CL. This season 6 starts in the league, 3 in CL. Now 24 and within a year he'll considered world class by everyone with eyes.
PSG fans ask if Khusanov is going to fix them. United fans want Yoro to be a starter.
Because the last CBs those clubs signed were Johnny Evans, Martinez, De Light (three clubs in 3 years before joining), 30+yo Varane, Pacho, Beraldo and 34+ Ramos.
In a normal world they join as the third option and become starter in two years.
Chelsea also did the opposite of what works with Badiashile, Fofana, Colwill and so on.
