Inching closer to return De Ligt (back) is inching closer to a return but won't be an option to face Tottenham on Saturday, manager Michael Carrick told media during Thursday's press conference. "Matta [De...
Impact De Ligt won't be available to face the Spurs, and it seems the quick turnaround against West Ham on Feb. 10 will also come too soon for the defender. The Dutchman is progressing well, though, and he could be ready to be an option for defensive depth in the next few weeks. He'd have to compete with Leny Yoro, Lisandro Martinez and Harry Maguire for minutes at center-back, though.

No timetable to return De Ligt (back) won't play against Arsenal on Sunday and doesn't have an exact timeline for a return, manager Michael Carrick told media Friday. "I think it was just a little bit sl...
Impact De Ligt hasn't played since Nov. 30, and this will be his 11th straight absence across all competitions. The Dutchman is likely a few weeks away from returning, according to Carrick, but he seems to be trending in the right direction. He'll compete for a spot at center-back alongside Harry Maguire, Leny Yoro and Lisandro Martinez once he's back to full fitness.

Impact De Ligt is set to miss a 10th straight game with a nagging back injury, and based on Carrick's words, there's no timetable for his return. This means Harry Maguire, Leny Yoro and Lisandro Martinez are set to battle for the two spots at center-back in Carrick's 4-2-3-1 scheme.

Impact De Ligt is still not an option for Manchester United as he is still working with the medical staff to recover from his back issues. The center-back's absence is reducing the options in the backline, with Ayden Heaven and Leny Yoro seeing increased playing time in the defense.

Still recovering from injury De Ligt (back) is still recovering from a back injury and not available for the time being, the club announced.
Impact De Ligt missed the last three games due to a back injury and won't return for Sunday's clash against Aston Villa. The extent of his injury remains unknown, and his timeline to return has yet to be defined. The center-back will hope to return before the end of the year, as the Red Devils will need him fit given the lack of options in the backline, with Noussair Mazraoui set to play in the AFCON. Ayden Heaven and Leny Yoro are expected to see increased playing time while De Ligt is sidelined.

Remains out De Ligt (hamstring) remains out for the time being, coach Ruben Amorim said in the press conference, according to Rob Dawson from ESPN.
Impact De Ligt is still dealing with the hamstring injury that sidelined him in the last two games and won't be an option for Monday's clash against Bournemouth. This is a blow for Manchester United since he is an undisputed starter when fit and available and a change will have to be made in the back-three, with Ayden Heaven or Leny Yoro as likely options to replace him while he is out.
DECEMBER 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Not available De Ligt (hamstring) is still out for Monday's trip to Wolves.
Impact De Ligt was expected to return for Monday's clash, but instead he's left out of the squad entirely. This injury was originally meant to be a small one, but he's now missed two matches in a row. Ayden Heaven is back in the starting XI for Monday's clash.
DECEMBER 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Should be available Monday De Ligt (undisclosed) should be available for Monday's clash against Wolves, coach Ruben Amorim said in the press conference. "I think so, we'll see."
Impact De Ligt missed Thursday's draw against West Ham United due to an injury that seems to be minor since coach Ruben Amorim expected him to be back available for Monday's clash against Wolves. The center-back will claim back his undisputed starting role in the back-three of the Red Devils if deemed fit for the game.
DECEMBER 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Missing Thursday De Ligt isn't in the squad for Thursday's clash with West Ham.
Impact De Ligt wasn't included in the squad for Thursday's clash, as it appears he was one of the two injury doubts (alongside Bruno Fernandes) that manager Ruben Amorim mentioned pre-match. Fernandes was deemed fit enough to start but De Ligt wasn't included in the squad. Ayden Heaven gets the start at center-back Thursday.

Scores equalizer Saturday De Ligt scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 2-2 draw versus Tottenham Hotspur.
Impact De Ligt scored his first goal of the season Saturday and it came at the perfect time. After Spurs scored a pair of late goals and looked set to steal the win, De Ligt scored a towering header in the 96th minute off a Bruno Fernandes corner to tie the match at two goals a piece. He played well on the defensive end too as he won four duels, intercepted two passes and made six clearances in his full 90 minutes of action.

Man Utd player ratings vs Liverpool: Harry Maguire silences Anfield - cult hero secures statement win for Ruben Amorim as Bryan Mbeumo, Casemiro and more shine
Ever-present in starting lineup De Ligt has started and played the full 90 in each of Manchester United's seven Premier League matches this season.
Impact There's a strong argument to say the Dutchman has been Manchester United's most reliable defender this season, though that doesn't really say much given the team's struggles. In seven EPL starts, De Ligt has five shots, 15 tackles, 36 clearances and eight interceptions.
