Erik ten Hag was delighted with Matthijs de Ligt following Manchester United’s win over Southampton.
The defender endured a difficult international break during which he was heavily criticised for making mistakes for the Netherlands but scored in United’s 3-0 win on the south coast on Saturday
Saints had bossed most of the game in the first half and were offered the chance to take the lead from the penalty spot after Diogo Dalot brought down Tyler Dibling. Andre Onana, however, then saved a tame effort from Cameron Archer before De Ligt opened the scoring with a header after a recycled corner.
Marcus Rashford would add a second before the break and Alejandro Garnacho scored a late third after the hosts lost Jack Stephens to a red card.
