An early Matthijs de Ligt damage replace has been supplied by Erik ten Hag.
Manchester United Soccer Membership performed their most convincing sport of the season so far-off on the South Coast yesterday, beating Southampton 3-0. The Purple Devils began sluggishly, although they overcame the early onslaught and took full management of proceedings.
It was Matthijs de Ligt who set the Purple Devils on their approach with a very good header from a set-piece, paving the best way for a Man of the Match efficiency from the brand new signing.
The Dutchman is already forming a pleasant partnership again there with Lisandro Martinez, with the previous Bayern Munich man already displaying his class.
Nonetheless, the nerves beginning jangling when De Ligt needed to be substituted off late on with an obvious damage.
Fortunately, these damage fears have since been eased by Ten Hag, who supplied an encouraging replace on the important thing star after the sport. It seems De Ligt was coping with cramp.
Try what the gaffer needed to say in full right here:
“It seems to be like [cramp] sure,” Ten Hag stated when requested about De Ligt, per ManUtd.com.
“We had internationals, quick within the season, some are quick within the pre-season, some come from intercontinental flights so then you realize you’ve gotten a 12.30 sport and you’ll battle,”
“Hopefully it’s nothing severe, we now have to evaluate it immediately, or tomorrow after which we are able to see.”
The 24-year-old has had his personal damage points prior to now so that is excellent news. There was a fast turnaround for De Ligt, who performed two video games for the Netherlands then had to participate within the early kick-off on Saturday lunchtime.
With Harry Maguire trying like he was struggling on the finish of the match, whereas Lisandro Martinez additionally went off injured, it’s very important that De Ligt can keep match right here as we’d already be right down to the naked bones on the coronary heart of defence.
Video games at the moment are coming thick and quick and United want their key gamers to remain as wholesome as doable, so I’d be shocked if we see De Ligt concerned in opposition to Barnsley in midweek…
