And the kit man will also be hoping the 19-year-old stops putting on the muscle to save having to cut his shorts before every match.

De Ligt's thighs are so large that the club have to cut a slit in his shorts just so he can put them on.

The defender, linked with huge money moves to Barcelona and Manchester United, showed maturity beyond his age after captaining his side to the league title.

The youngster has more than likely to have played his last game with a huge move across Europe on the horizon.

He has been valued at around £60million for his signature and De Ligt is prepared to keep his options open.

Barca were thought to be favourites but it is reported that the player hasn't ruled out a move to Old Trafford despite the lack of Champions League football.
