Manchester United injury update: Matthijs de Ligt, Diogo Dalot and Ayden Heaven latest news and return dates
May 5, 2025
All eyes are on Europe for Manchester United after another frustrating weekend in the Premier League.
Ruben Amorim’s side were beaten 4-3 by Brentford on Sunday and they sit 15th in the table, but the focus was clear when the United boss made eight changes ahead of Thursday night’s second leg against Athletic Bilbao.
There was still an injury problem for Amorim, when Matthijs de Ligt was forced off, and that is a fresh concern for him as he looks to ensure United do not surrender the three-goal aggregate lead they hold in the semi-final tie.
Amad Diallo is now back to fitness, but the likes of Diogo Dalot, Ayden Heaven and Joshua Zirkzee remain out.
Matthijs de Ligt
Matthijs de Ligt is facing another blow on the injury front.
The centre-back made his return off the bench in the first leg against Athletic Bilbao and then started against Brentford on Sunday, but was forced off in the first-half with a fresh injury.
Speaking after the match, Amorim said: "I don't know. We will see. I hope it's nothing serious.”
Potential return date: Unknown
Diogo Dalot
It remains to be seen whether Diogo Dalot plays again this season.
The full-back has missed United’s last three matches with a calf injury and he is in a race against time to feature before the end of the campaign.
"We don't know how long he's going to be out,” Amorim said last month. “But he's out for these next games. We will see to the end.
