Another wave of speculation has erupted around defender Matthijs de Ligt, as unverified and conflicting rumors about his future and career status began circulating on social media.

According to the Twitter account exfootballfan, the footballer does not intend to continue his career. It is reported that De Ligt is taking hormone pills, which has allegedly led to frequent injuries. Rumors also claim that the Dutch defender decided to undergo gender reassignment surgery and supposedly completed the procedure last week. The entire situation is currently being kept under wraps by the club, with Carrick reportedly wanting to avoid any distractions for the team during this decisive stage of the season should the story break.

It’s important to note that the source of these claims is unverified, and the statements themselves are completely unsubstantiated and have not been confirmed by any reputable media outlets. Manchester United has also chosen not to comment on these reports.
