"De Ligt is not in the same position as Patrick Dorgu, who is back 'out on the grass' after a hamstring issue, allowing him to be included in the squad despite not playing."
"Multiple sources acknowledge that despite his status as a professional athlete and the medical facilities available to him, De Ligt is managing a back problem like anyone else."
"There have been periods when it was felt De Ligt was getting close to returning, but currently, he is not in a position to participate in matches."
Matthijs de Ligt is currently unable to play for Manchester United due to a back problem, unlike teammates Lisandro Martinez and Harry Maguire. While they enjoyed a getaway, De Ligt remained in Manchester to maintain his fitness. His absence from the squad was notable, especially with Patrick Dorgu returning from injury. De Ligt's condition is unpredictable, and both he and interim manager Michael Carrick must ensure he can handle the physical demands of Premier League matches before returning to play.
