Incredible” – Ruben Amorim Praises Manchester United Star for Stepping Up in Recent Weeks
Manchester United put in a dominant display against Leicester City, securing a comfortable 3-0 victory in the Premier League. The win was an important one for the Red Devils, with goals from Rasmus Højlund, Alejandro Garnacho, and Bruno Fernandes ensuring all three points. However, beyond the attacking performances, one player stood out at the back—Matthijs de Ligt.
While United fans celebrated the goals, keeping a clean sheet for the first time since January was equally crucial. Their defensive line was solid throughout the game, and De Ligt played a key role in shutting down Leicester’s attack. The Dutch defender showed incredible determination, especially in the second half when he blocked a dangerous shot after forcing Jamie Vardy into a pass.
Ruben Amorim, clearly impressed, singled out De Ligt for praise. The United boss even joked about hoping the defender doesn’t play too many minutes for the Netherlands during the international break.
