Man United's De Ligt steps up recovery from back injury
- On Friday, Manchester United confirmed that defender Matthijs de Ligt has returned to light training on grass at Carrington, marking a key stage in his rehabilitation from a back injury.
- The 26-year-old has been sidelined since helping the Red Devils to a 2-1 win at Crystal Palace on November 30, with head coach Michael Carrick admitting last month there was no guarantee of a return this campaign.
- Despite the progress, De Ligt will remain absent when United host Brentford on Monday, though Carrick noted fellow centre-back Harry Maguire will return from a two-game ban in that match against Brentford.
- Separately, Sebastian Coe is playing a key role in developing a new 100,000-seater stadium for Manchester United, revealing that land acquisition for the £2 billion project is proving to be "complicated."
- Coe admitted the stadium's timeline was "slightly uncertain" but believed it was "moving in the right direction," as the project continues acquiring land near Old Trafford.
