I do my job on the pitch. I can\u2019t do anything more. If the coach explained his reasons to me. No, he didn\u2019t. No idea, you\u2019ll have to ask the coach. I\u2019m doing what the coach wants and now I\u2019ve played about 10 minutes as a No. 6 in the last two games.\u201d Furthermore, with the growing uncertainty surrounding the immediate future of French defender, Raphael Varane at Manchester United, fans have called in their droves for the INEOS-backed club to sign de Ligt in a big-money move this summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With the recent uptake in the form of English center back, Harry Maguire before his recent injury setback, and the impending return to first-team football for Argentine ball-playing defender, Lisandro Martinez \u2013 the addition of Dutch center back, de Ligt to the Manchester side ahead of next season would prove a major acquisition for the newly-backed Sir Jim Ratcliffe side<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
