‘Where is de Ligt?’. Carragher harshly criticised Man United's star newcomer
Manchester United's recent 0-3 defeat to Tottenham has exacerbated not only tactical problems, but also problems with player recruitment. Thus, the team's star rookie Matthijs de Ligt received a portion of criticism from Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher.
Carragher stated the fact that the Dutchman simply could not keep up with his opponents, as a result of which he got into unnecessary yellow and red cards:
‘United's defence is terrible, they were always behind the ball when they lost possession. But where is De Ligt? In every situation in the first half, in two huge chances and a goal, De Ligt, a player they brought in for huge money, was out of position all the time. As a result, he has to go in a roundabout, and then you are in a situation where you can get yellow and red cards,’ - quotes Carragher The Independent.
Recall, earlier it became known that the players of Manchester United were surprised by the decision of the club to leave Erik ten Hag in charge of the team.
