De Ligt Joins Man United’s Spanish Fiesta…
Hold onto your sombreros, folks, because our favorite Dutch pastry, Matthijs de Ligt, has sashayed his way into Bilbao just in time for Wednesday night’s high-stakes Europa League showdown. Though he’s not in the starting eleven—due to an over-piled medical plate of sardines sprained during a tango with Brentford—de Ligt has hopped over for a front-row seat in the moral support section. No one is more surprised than the fish market!
De Ligt’s mystery tour began after a cozy Tuesday morning avoiding group drills at Carrington by doing some secret squirrel training on his own. Missing the last trio of matches, the muscle maestro was still a topic hotter than jalapeños dipped in lava when boss Ruben Amorim dropped a spicy hint about his fitness status. But fear not! Like a knight in shining boot studs, dainty Diogo Dalot and lively Leny Yoro have slipped back into the squad, hoping to keep Spurs tangled in their own web.
Arriving fashionably precisely at 6 p.m. BST, right before Amorim dished out his pre-match palabras, de Ligt’s presence was so incredible it inspired a flock of sheep to wear red scarves! While he won’t be sprouting grass roots with his cleats this time, de Ligt is there to sprinkle magic unicorn dust on his teammates and remind everyone that even sidelined stars have their twinkle. This blend of drama, suspense, and footwear has the Old Trafford faithful buzzing like over-caffeinated bees in a honey competition!
