Manchester United’s squad are growing as they learn Ruben Amorim’s system, says defender Matthijs de Ligt.

The Dutch international defender gave a strong endorsement of Amorim’s philosophy: that United may need to endure some painful results as we develop because the end goal will be worthwhile.

De Ligt was speaking to United Review ahead of Sunday’s Premier League match with AFC Bournemouth at Old Trafford.

The 25-year-old had featured in every one of Amorim’s games in charge until illness ruled him out of our midweek Carabao Cup quarter-final defeat at Tottenham Hotspur. He’ll hope to be back available for the visit of the Cherries, having played an important role in our last league game: a memorable and meaningful 2-1 victory at rivals Manchester City.
