Won't play in derby

De Ligt (back) won't be available for Saturday's derby against Manchester City, manager Michael Carrick told media Friday. "[Matthijs] de Ligt has been carrying a bit of an issue but, hopefully, we'll get him back in some time soon. It's been a little bit slower than what they thought previously."
ANALYSIS
De Ligt is set to miss a 10th straight game with a nagging back injury, and based on Carrick's words, there's no timetable for his return. This means Harry Maguire, Leny Yoro and Lisandro Martinez are set to battle for the two spots at center-back in Carrick's 4-2-3-1 scheme.

Man United seal move?
DBayern Munich
GTD
August 10, 2024
Manchester United are close to completing a move for De Ligt, according to Sky Sports Germany.
ANALYSIS
Manchester United could end up signing two players from Bayern Munich at once, as they're also quite close to completing a deal for Noussair Mazraoui, a former Ajax player who thrived under manager Erik ten Hag in the Eredivisie giant. De Ligt would be an excellent addition to the team's defensive line.
