Manchester United dominated Leicester City with a convincing 3-0 win in the Premier League. Goals from Rasmus Højlund, Alejandro Garnacho, and Bruno Fernandes secured a crucial three points for the Red Devils.
While United’s attacking display stole the headlines, their defensive performance was equally significant, as they kept their first clean sheet since January.
At the heart of that defensive stability was Matthijs de Ligt, who played a key role in shutting down Leicester’s attacking threats.
The Dutch center-back showcased his determination, notably making a crucial block in the second half after forcing Jamie Vardy into a pass.
Manager Ruben Amorim was full of praise for De Ligt, even jokingly expressing his hope that the defender doesn’t play too many minutes for the Netherlands during the international break.
This victory not only highlighted United’s firepower up front but also emphasized the growing importance of their defensive organization, with De Ligt’s commanding presence proving invaluable.
