Erik ten Hag has been reunited with Matthijs de Ligt at Man United but it comes at a time when the centre-back is under pressure.
Matthijs de Ligt will return to Carrington on Thursday hoping a familiar face can lift the gloom after Manchester United's new centre-back saw his international reputation plummet further during the September break.
His price tag has gone down with each of those moves, although part of that is down to external factors rather than on-pitch performances alone. He has played fairly regularly for Juventus and Bayern without quite doing enough to make those clubs think he is the future of their defence. De Ligt probably won't see that as being protected and he will be stung at being replaced by Brighton defender Jan Paul van Hecke, but he will be well aware now that he needs to make his move to Old Trafford a success. That reunion with Ten Hag feels like it has badly needed.
"He's really demanding, I think," he said. "He demands, every day, every moment of the training session, he demands a lot.
