Amorim Excludes De Ligt from Lineup Due to Illness

Matthijs de Ligt, one of Manchester United's key defenders, has been ruled out of tonight’s Carabao Cup quarterfinal clash against Tottenham due to illness. The announcement came just hours before the highly anticipated match.

United, led by manager Ruben Amorim, will face Tottenham under manager Ange Postecoglou. Despite their current challenges, Tottenham recently secured a dominant 5-0 victory over Southampton, signaling their readiness for the encounter.

De Ligt has been a consistent starter under Amorim and has earned the coach’s trust with his performances in recent matches. His absence creates a notable gap in United's defensive lineup, forcing adjustments to their usual setup.

For tonight’s match, United’s starting XI features players like Altay Bayindir, Victor Lindelof, and Lisandro Martinez, with Rasmus Højlund leading the attack. Fans are eager to see if United can maintain their strong form and progress further in the competition.
