Remains out De Ligt (hamstring) remains out for the time being, coach Ruben Amorim said in the press conference, according to Rob Dawson from ESPN.

Impact De Ligt is still dealing with the hamstring injury that sidelined him in the last two games and won't be an option for Monday's clash against Bournemouth. This is a blow for Manchester United since he is an undisputed starter when fit and available and a change will have to be made in the back-three, with Ayden Heaven or Leny Yoro as likely options to replace him while he is out.

Not available De Ligt (hamstring) is still out for Monday's trip to Wolves.

Impact De Ligt was expected to return for Monday's clash, but instead he's left out of the squad entirely. This injury was originally meant to be a small one, but he's now missed two matches in a row. Ayden Heaven is back in the starting XI for Monday's clash.

Should be available Monday De Ligt (undisclosed) should be available for Monday's clash against Wolves, coach Ruben Amorim said in the press conference. "I think so, we'll see."

Impact De Ligt missed Thursday's draw against West Ham United due to an injury that seems to be minor since coach Ruben Amorim expected him to be back available for Monday's clash against Wolves. The center-back will claim back his undisputed starting role in the back-three of the Red Devils if deemed fit for the game.

Missing Thursday De Ligt isn't in the squad for Thursday's clash with West Ham.

Impact De Ligt wasn't included in the squad for Thursday's clash, as it appears he was one of the two injury doubts (alongside Bruno Fernandes) that manager Ruben Amorim mentioned pre-match. Fernandes was deemed fit enough to start but De Ligt wasn't included in the squad. Ayden Heaven gets the start at center-back Thursday.

Scores equalizer Saturday De Ligt scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 2-2 draw versus Tottenham Hotspur.

Impact De Ligt scored his first goal of the season Saturday and it came at the perfect time. After Spurs scored a pair of late goals and looked set to steal the win, De Ligt scored a towering header in the 96th minute off a Bruno Fernandes corner to tie the match at two goals a piece. He played well on the defensive end too as he won four duels, intercepted two passes and made six clearances in his full 90 minutes of action.

Ever-present in starting lineup De Ligt has started and played the full 90 in each of Manchester United's seven Premier League matches this season.

Impact There's a strong argument to say the Dutchman has been Manchester United's most reliable defender this season, though that doesn't really say much given the team's struggles. In seven EPL starts, De Ligt has five shots, 15 tackles, 36 clearances and eight interceptions.

Returns during offseason De Ligt (undisclosed) started and played 45 minutes in a friendly against Leeds United.

Impact De Ligt was able to shake off the undisclosed issues he carried into the offseason from the last campaign, featuring for the first half of a friendly. This does mean the club is gaining a regular defender back ahead of the campaign, a player who will likely start matchday one after starting in 25 of his 29 appearances last season, only being hindered by injuries.

Trains, doubtful for Sunday De Ligt (undisclosed) has trained individually but is still doubtful for Sunday's match against Aston Villa, accoridng to his club.

Impact De Ligt missed out on Wednesday's UEL Final and looks likely to miss out on the club's season finale Sunday. This comes after he was only able to train individually, putting some doubt around his health. He will look to make the team sheet, but a bench spot seems to be the best he would do after being such a late call.

MAY 20 • Associated Press

Out for UEL Final De Ligt (undisclosed) is out for Wednesday's match against Tottenham after missing the squad list.

Impact De Ligt will not return in time for Wednesday's Europa League final, with the defender still not fit enough to compete due to his undisclosed injury. This will leave him with only the season finale to make a return against Aston Villa on Sunday. He will hope to see the field again this season, now missing their past four games

Impact De Ligt missed the last three games due to an injury and still wasn't training with his teammates on Tuesday, making him a real doubt and quite unlikely to feature in Wednesday's Europa League final against Tottenham. If he has to miss the game, Victor Lindelof will likely get the start in the back three.

Unlikely for Friday De Ligt (undisclosed) is unlikely for Friday's match against Chelsea, accoridng to manager Ruben Amorin. "I don't know if he is going to be available."

Impact De Ligt is yet to train, and that leaves him on the outside looking in for Friday's match, seeming more likely to miss out than be an option. That said, if he is even close, the club will likely be cautious with their UEL final on the horizon. That said, it will be more likely he is left on the sidelines, with the May 21 UEL final being much more important and what he is working towards.

Impact De Ligt has received another update Wednesday after it was learned the defender was dealing with an undisclosed injury, as he will now miss the club's next two games due to the issues, missing Thursday against Athletic and Sunday against West Ham. The good news is the injury was not labeled a concern, and he could return soon after Sunday. This will force a change, with Harry Maguire and Leny Yoro likely to see the start in the center of the defense while De Ligt is out.
