De Ligt has finally shared his recovery progress with fans, who are eagerly awaiting his strong return.
For the past year or so, De Ligt's injury has been one of the most perplexing issues for Manchester United.
Since Amorim called it a "minor problem" last November, De Ligt has not trained with the team, let alone played in a match.
Now that he has shared behind-the-scenes details of his recovery, Manchester United fans have reached a consensus.
Amid much speculation about his injury, De Ligt has remained low-key, with his last major announcement being about the success of his surgery.
That was in May of this year, and there were reports that he would also miss the beginning of the new season.
This has left Manchester United fans quite frustrated, as they have been kept in the dark and have no idea when he will return.
De Ligt recently posted a series of updates on his personal social media that appear to show his recovery process: the photos show him arriving at the Carrington training ground and then doing some gym workouts.
Most importantly, he is undergoing lumbar rehabilitation training, which is the area where he had surgery.
Clearly, the healing phase of his recovery has ended, and he has entered the strength enhancement phase.
He will then move on to specialized training, after which he can gradually return to match fitness. It is understood that De Ligt will need about two more months before he can represent the team, and by the time he returns to the field, he may have missed a full year.
