The Dutchman has impressed so far this campaign and a compilation of his best moments recently prompted a huge reaction on our official YouTube channel.
MUTV’s Mark Sullivan sat down with Matthijs to review his positive start and the centre-back began by providing an honest assessment of himself.
"I am feeling quite good, to be fair,” says De Ligt. "I am happy with the way I started, personally. I feel good physically and mentally. I try to help the team as much as possible in every game.
"Obviously, we are not in the place where we want to be in the long term, but I feel like we are also improving as a team and, hopefully in the next weeks, we can get some good results.
