Former Coach Worries About De Ligt…

Former Manchester United coach Rene Meulensteen has raised his eyebrows at Matthijs de Ligt’s performances, saying the defender might have packed on a few too many pies over the summer. Although De Ligt has appeared in all of United’s Premier League games this season, Meulensteen believes his form is a bit like a seesaw ride in a theme park—wildly unpredictable! With Ruben Amorim benching Harry Maguire, De Ligt is expected to anchor the defense, but his weight seems to be the heavyweight topic these days.

Despite the critiques, De Ligt’s friendship with coach Amorim remains as strong as a brand-new shoelace. The Dutch defender assures that Amorim is a master of minute details, like a football-obsessed Sherlock Holmes! United recently stumbled in the Carabao Cup against Grimsby, yet De Ligt trusts that with Amorim’s eye for improvement, United will get their groove back soon. As for De Ligt, he’s ready to prove this is just a passing cloud in his sky-high football journey.
