The Dutch centre-back topped the fan poll on the United App, finishing ahead of Bruno Fernandes and Amad Diallo. His November was marked by consistency and a match-winning performance: he scored a dramatic last-gasp equaliser against Tottenham Hotspur to earn a point in a 2–2 draw — a defining moment cited by the club as a key factor in his selection.
In comments to club media, De Ligt expressed his gratitude to the fans. “It’s obviously really nice to get the recognition from the fans, and get the award,” he said. “I think we’re doing well. We’re improving as a team. With myself I’m also quite happy.”
Beyond club duties, his performances earned him a recall to the national side, as he started for the Netherlands national football team in a 4–0 win over Lithuania that sealed their qualification for next summer’s World Cup.
De Ligt’s emergence as a defensive cornerstone at Old Trafford — his first major monthly award at the club — underscores his growing influence in United’s back-line and reaffirms the faith in him at both club and international level.
