Wolves 1-4 Manchester United match highlights and review
The latest Man Utd injury news after they defeated Wolves in the Premier League on Monday night.
The Dutch defender had been an ever-present for United in the Premier League until last month, but missed their 1-1 draw with West Ham and did not recover to face Wolves. Amorim had initially hoped to have De Ligt available for the trip to Molineux but he was not deemed match fit for the clash.
United are back in action when they host Bournemouth in the Premier League next Monday night and it is unclear whether De Ligt might be available for that.
