I reckon after September international break is realistic
Matthijs de Ligt | 2026/27 Performances
- Thread starter MyOnlySolskjaer
- Start date
Carrick playing 4d chess to make everyone think De Ligt and Sesko were unavailable before immediately putting them in the starting lineup against Hull
Definitely still a few weeks away yet
Guaranteed that won’t happen. I doubt they will even get time off the bench week 1.
Sounds like a great way for 2 players to be out for the season
It appears the joke was not clear. Obviously they won't be starting against Hull
F**k sake, Christopher Reeve was quicker returning from a back injury than this lad
He had an operation in May, personally think he is much further along than I would have expected
Remember that Christopher Reeve was not of this Earth
Fair enough but he's been out since last November!
Looks like the operation was a good one.
It will be great for us to have a fit De ligt this season.

Back operation or Hair Transplant operation, what ever it was he is looking good and ready.
Can't wait to see the big man back.
Like today?
Carrick needs to start next season.
Did I see the stat that he’s never had the same manager at the start of two consecutive seasons across his entire career? Yes. Looked it up. 11 seasons, and he’s never had the same manager at the start of two consecutive seasons. Astonishing.

Question: Will Mason Mount play midfield regularily in Heaven, or will he lay forever chained to the physio bench in Hell. (Off colour jokes about or CB are welcomed)
One of our best players last season until this injury
Hope he can stay fit. He’s a good defender and he can get goals as well with his headers in the box
Ah,no! Better Carrick sell him in Jan
I really love Deligt and hope he can have a injury free season. He is a Lion at heart and a great leader too. I love the way he played and waiting on touch line to get back into the game when blood was pouring from his head. that is bit insane same time shows how tough he is, that day he was like a Bruce reincarnation.
Yeah would love the guy to get back to where he wasAh,no! Better Carrick sell him in Jan

So we can blame him for any manager troubles we've had since he arrived. Cursed man.
It was good to see him in training. He is probably our best CB when fit.
I think him + Heaven is our best combo.
Dalot (Maz) - De Ligt (Maguire) - Heaven (Yoro) - Robinson (Shaw).

Martinez and De Ligt are our best two CBs by some distance. And hopefully Yoro takes a step this year.
Yes, but no point planning around Martinez if he is available only half the games a season.
We’re…literally in the De Ligt thread. My reply was to your post which said “when fit.”
Potentially but they've played together once so far...I think.
I understand. But I have written off Martinez in my head.
Yes, De Ligt has been out for a while and has had injury issues but season before last, he had decent availability.
We need him back asap
He gets better every week he doesn't play.
To be fair, he was mostly very good when he played last season, until he got his weird, extremely long injury. Had a fantastic season prior to that.
Read this slowly
Matthijs De Ligt has never played under Michael Carrick despite Carrick being Man United manager for the last 8-9 months and managing 24 games in that time.
He has been out injured for (276+ days currently).
That window - De Ligt, Yoro, uUgarte,Mazz, Zirkee was a horror show , if yYoro was academy he would be long gone

Read this slowly? Why would i need to do that?
De Ligt had a back injury, needed surgery and he's back in full training soon. It happens.
Your point about Yoro is nonsense as well. He's highly rated and very talented.
Carrick has managed 19 games, and De Ligt has never played under him because of an injury that eventually required surgery in May 2026. Yet Carrick has been our manager since January 2026.
Nothing like this happens at other clubs, where a player misses five months of football without a pinpointed injury and then, afterwards, undergoes surgery for the same injury. Why wasn't the surgery done when he was injured in December 2025?
Either United's medical team is flawed, or De Ligt is a sick note. I know which side I’m leaning towards.
Yoro being talented and highly rated is neither here nor there. We will still need a defensive rebuild next summer because he hasn't nailed down a position despite costing £50 million. We'll need to spend another £50 million to sign a central d
efender.
Seriously?
Honestly our fanbase is the worst. Don't need rivals when our own bring our players down. Ridiculous.
It’s funny , he’s claiming we are going to win the league in another thread thenSeriously?

You clearly didn't read it slow enough!Seriously?

Ha ha could be. Read this slowly and then says something thats not even a little bit profound, interesting or novel. Injured player was injured needed surgery and was out for a long time. No conclusions drawn.
Please stop the Twitterisms.
I read this at 3 words per minute and it really helped.
