Little confidence he can play injury free for a longer period of time. Will also take plenty of games to get him in form and match ready

If the back surgery hasn't worked then his career is over, this kind of surgery is usually done as the last resort
 
Just seen a stat there, 11 different managers in 11 diff seasons for DeLigt.. thats mental
 
How long has this guy been out now? I can’t even remember.

The guy has never played under Carrick, Carrick who has been a manager since January 2026, who meet him injured.
He has 42 PL appearance since 2024 August.
Even Urgate has played more times than him. Urgate, Zirkzee all have played more than him for United in PL.

It’s really annoying because although he’s lost a yard of pace, he’s still a pretty good and brave defender
 
I really hope he gets some minutes today, a fully fit De Ligt is comfortably our best CB

I like him when fit, but he’s just no where near fit enough so we need to sell him for whatever next chance we get.

Needs replacing in the squad with a rapid, strong tall CB.

You mean Thursday?

He must be ready to be on the bench now surely

He's had back surgery for what is potentially a career ending injury, I doubt they'll be risking him anytime soon

doubt he’ll play much before the new year. Think it was mentioned easing him in after the international break.
Guessing the plan would be get him some minutes in reserve games.

The likelihood is he’ll get injured during this recovery phase purely because his muscles/body has been out of action for so long. So there’ll undoubtedly be some muscle related injuries.
So yeah wouldn’t expect to see him much until maybe second half of the season.

I’d rather have someone who is on the pitch.

He did well on patches for us. But he was never outstanding. He’s just not worth the hassle with the injuries, as much as I do think he’s a good player when for.
 
We're not going to see him play competitive football anytime soon. Some pictures of him running and smiling in the training, but I would be surprised if he is allowed in the pitch soon (before Christmas let's say).
 
Had him down as future captain before his injury. Really rate him, but it’s going to be hard for him to reach his top level again surely after being out for this long. Such a shame.

We've seen clips of him in normal training for a while now.

It would be baffling if it takes him another 4 months from this point.
 
In some ways our season is dependent on him (and Dorgu). We know how the other defensive players would do, and only a fit and perfoming De Ligt could lift the defense this season (assuming its too soon for Yoro and Heaven).
 
I thought he was our best player right before he got injured. Consistently good with 7/10 performances minimum.

Looking forward to having him back.
 
Not many players have back surgery but many have back problems. Rashford broke his with a double stress fracture.
 
Him and Yoro are probably our best pairing on paper. Unfortunately the actual sport isn't player on paper.

But hopefully he can come back and regain his form before his injury. He offers everything Maguire does, but better.
