In the 8th round of the Premier League, Manchester United defeated Liverpool 2-1 away from home. After the game, De Ligt accepted an interview on the club’s official website.
"For me, this is the best win since I joined Manchester United. Not only because we won, but also because our performance in this game was very mature, especially against the defending champions. We created a lot of chances and were able to win the game away from home like this." What a great day. We know that sometimes we need luck, but we also have to go all out and show determination and perseverance.
"I am very, very proud of the performance of the team today, not only the starting 11, but also the performance of the substitute players. I think this game showed what kind of team we can be, which is great, and hopefully we can show that level in more games in the future. "
Talking about Mbemo's goal in the first minute of the game, Dericht said: "We know that our opponents have been in poor form recently. I remember that they have suffered three consecutive defeats before. The opening blitz against our opponents undoubtedly boosted our confidence and at the same time dampened their morale. For us, this was a very dreamy start. "
"Although Gakpo then equalized the score, in the end it was our old friend Maguire who sealed the victory for us with a header. It's an incredibly exciting moment for him personally, for the whole team and for the fans who support us all over the world, especially for Maguire, who didn't play in the last game and today he not only performed well but also scored a vital goal and I'm very happy for him and the team. Later, we had the opportunity to score another goal to add to the victory, but unfortunately we failed to achieve it. We hope to seize the opportunity next time. "
