Matthijs De Ligt Injury Update After Man Utd Suffer Fresh Blow

De Ligt missed his first Premier League minutes due to a minor knock, with manager Ruben Amorim expecting his return by the next game after youth player Ayden Heaven started.

  • This year, Matthijs de Ligt missed Manchester United's Premier League match at Old Trafford with a knock, missing his first Premier League minutes of the season but not expected to be sidelined long.
  • Ruben Amorim said the absence created a defensive squeeze as Harry Maguire was also unavailable, forcing Manchester United to rely on youth options this year.
  • Ayden Heaven started the match but was subbed at half-time after an early yellow for a sliding challenge on Jarrod Bowen, replaced by Leny Yoro.
  • Amorim called the issue 'a small thing' and minimised its severity, saying he `expects to have Matthijs next game` against Wolves next Monday.
  • The manager said he is 'really excited' about the youngster, adding it is 'a big opportunity for everyone to see Ayden' as he steps into senior action.
