Having joined the club alongside Noussair Mazraoui, both players have spoken candidly about settling into life in Manchester, with De Ligt providing further insight.
“Yeah, it’s obviously when you come to a new team, it’s always in the beginning a little bit of an adjustment period, I think,” explained Matthijs.
“The problem is that nobody, also from the outside, gives you this time, so it’s not an excuse.
“You have to start from the beginning. I think the new signings, have to say also a big compliment today to Josh [Zirkzee], how he came in, like really strong with the ball, perfect.”
