Manchester United stars have reportedly responded to Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk following his public criticism of Matthijs de Ligt’s performances during recent international matches with the Netherlands. De Ligt, who recently joined Manchester United, had a rough patch in the international break, with errors leading to conceded goals against Germany and Bosnia.
These mistakes prompted van Dijk to comment, stating, “At this level, you get punished for such moments,” a remark seen by some as harsh considering De Ligt’s growing reputation and respect for his Dutch teammate.
Despite this, De Ligt admitted his mistakes, acknowledging his indecision in clearing the ball during the play that led to Germany’s equalizer. While he admitted frustration with his performance, he is determined to bounce back and learn from these moments. De Ligt’s United teammates have reportedly backed him, emphasizing that setbacks are part of the game, and his ability to move forward will be key to his development
The situation has put some strain on the relationship between the two Dutch defenders, but De Ligt remains focused on improving both for the national team and his new club, Manchester United. He is expected to use these experiences to elevate his form in the Premier League.
