Speaking about new signing Mathis de Ligt, Manchester United star Dimitar Berbatov expressed his high expectations for the Dutch defender, and emphasized the importance of keeping him healthy for his success at Manchester United. According to Berbatov, De Ligt not only has the potential to improve United's defense, but may also bring new glory to the Red Devils with his past "championship luck".
"Derlicht is undoubtedly a very good defender," said Berbatov, "My biggest concern is whether he will be able to stay healthy in a busy schedule. Health is the most valuable asset of every player, and this is especially true for Derek Hurt. Coach Ten Hagar has a deep connection with him and the two have developed a good working relationship from their Ajax days, which will certainly help Delichert's quick integration at United."
Berbatov also humorously referred to De Ligt's "champion's luck", pointing out that the young defender has been able to bring titles to whatever team he has joined. From Ajax to Juventus to Bayern Munich, every team he has joined has won the league title. Berbatov hopes that this good fortune will carry over to Manchester United, bringing more victories and honors to the team.
Of course, Berbatov is also conscious of the special nature of the Premier League. He said: "The Premier League is a highly competitive league with a fast pace and strong confrontation, which will be a brand new challenge for de Ligt. We expect him to quickly adapt to the pace of the Premier League and show his strength. Coach Ten Hagar will undoubtedly have high hopes for him, and we are confident that he can become an important pillar in United's backline."
In addition, Berbatov also encouraged Dellihert to keep a positive mindset and focus to face every challenge and difficulty. He believes that as long as Dellihert can stay healthy and fulfill his potential, he will be able to become a hero in the hearts of United fans and bring more glory and victories to the team.
