Matthijs de Ligt saved Manchester United: the defender's goal changed the game against Tottenham.
The defender came to Manchester United's rescue
According to The Sun: In a situation where the team lacked a productive striker, the defender became a savior for Manchester United. Matthijs de Ligt's first goal of the season turned out to be extremely important for the team, as it was only one less than the modest tally of Benjamin Sesko, who has just two goals in 12 matches.
Sesko, acquired for a substantial sum of £73.62 million, caused problems for United during their 2-2 draw with Tottenham when he failed to convert a chance at 1-0.
Sesko, signed for a hefty fee, became a source of troubles for United in the match against Tottenham.
This situation highlights the tension within the team, where the lack of attacking productivity is becoming increasingly palpable. Fans hope that the strikers will quickly find their form as the team needs consistent results to compete for high places in the table.
