This 2025-26 English Premier League season, Matthijs de Ligt has solidified his reputation as one of Manchester United’s most reliable performers under manager Ruben Amorim.

The 26-year-old Dutch centre-back, who joined from Bayern Munich in the summer of 2024, has been an ever-present figure in United’s backline. He is the only player who has played every single minute of the club’s 11 matches in the league campaign so far.
