Manchester United hero Dimitar Berbatov has raised concerns over whether Matthjis de Ligt can stay fit. The centre-back completed a move to Old Trafford last week and made his debut as a substitute against Fulham on Saturday.
“My only concern for him is to stay fit,” Berbatov told Futbin. “Obviously [Erik] ten Hag knows him. They were at Ajax together. Then he moved to Juventus and then Bayern Munich. That jumping from team to team, some can argue against this, but the thing is that every team he went to, they became champions. So let’s hope that it’s good karma and he brings it to United.
“Outside of the jokes and funny things, he is a really good defender so let’s hope he can stay fit – the most important thing for any player. And Ten Hag will put faith in him and let’s see how he will start in the Premier League because it is a different beast. Let’s see how he will handle the speed and all the quick players coming against him.”
