Manchester United defender Matthijs de Ligt remains hopeful of returning from a complicated back injury before the Premier League season concludes on May 24.
Manchester United center-back Matthijs de Ligt is battling to regain fitness following a persistent back injury that has sidelined him since late November.
The Dutch international, a mainstay in the starting eleven prior to the setback, is currently undergoing intensive rehabilitation at Carrington.
Despite missing four months of competitive action, reports indicate he remains optimistic about contributing to the club’s final stretch of the campaign.
Interim manager Michael Carrick has emphasized a cautious approach regarding the defender’s recovery timeline.
Acknowledging the unpredictable nature of the injury, Carrick stated, “Honestly, it’s difficult to say. I think it’s just because it’s taken that much time.
Literally, at the moment, we don’t know, so we’ll have to wait and see.” United currently sits third in the Premier League as they chase Champions League qualification.
