The head coach of Manchester United, Ruben Amorim, has admitted that Matthijs de Ligt’s injury during the Premier League defeat on Sunday against Brentford is a concern.
De Ligt had only returned from a foot problem against Athletic Club a few days earlier, but was abolished after only 35 minutes in Brentford, his first start since April 1.
Amorim said that his concern about the Dutch in Old Trafford, but in the long term, in Old Trafford, but in the long term, was not really focused on the second board of the Europa League.
“I don’t know, so I’m really worried [but] Not at Thursday, “said Amorim Sky Sport. “We lost Luke Shaw at halftime to protect [him] And have players on Thursday, but I am more concerned whether it is a small or great injury [for De Ligt] And think about the next season. “
Since de Ligt did not start the first leg against the Athletic Club and missed both quarter -final games against Lyon, United seemed to be Victor Lindel from San Mames with a back three by Leny Yoro, Harry Maguire and Victor Lindel last week. Nussair Mazraoui had started against Lyon instead of Lindelof, but the Morocco international now covers the injured Diogo Dalot at Wing-Back.
But after Lindelof had to leave the club the next month at the end of his contract, and the experienced servant Jonny Evans on course to ride, it could be a significant problem to lose the long term and to influence the beginning of 2025/26. United has only returned to Lisandro Martinez a few months after the next season because he recovered from a torn ACL that Amorim consists with two older natural central defenders.
Amorim turned his team strong against Brentford and clearly prioritized the Europa League. The defeat in the southwest of London brought the real danger of ending the season 17th in the Premier League a little, but United has far more to play in Europe.
“At that moment we as a club have to understand that we have a great responsibility. We have to prepare a squad for different competitions,” argued the boss.
