In a key match in the 8th round of the English Premier League on the evening of October 19, Beijing time, Manchester United at home was unlucky, and the central defender De Ligt was unable to bandage the blood-stained field for a long time, and was asked to leave the field three times, and finally when he left the field for the third time, Manchester United temporarily lost one person on the field.
In the 11th minute of the game, De Ligt suffered a head bleed after a scramble. After a brief treatment, the Netherlands tough guy gritted his teeth and returned to the court to continue to hold on, but footage showed that there was no hemostatic bandage on his head.
In the 45th minute of the game, De Ligt's head was still bleeding, and the referee asked him to leave the field according to the regulations. The team doctor remained very amateur and did not bandage him and De Ligt soon returned to the pitch.
After five minutes of stoppage time, De Ligt's bleeding situation did not improve, and just when the referee asked him to leave, Brentford scored from a corner kick when Manchester United temporarily played one man less, especially when the centre-back left.
Full-back Diogo Dalot was largely responsible for the goal, and if De Ligt had been there, it would have been a different story.
After conceding the goal, De Ligt and Manchester United manager Ten Hag on the sidelines were very angry and complained to the linesman, but the appeal was unsuccessful, and the goal was valid. After conceding the first goal at home, Manchester United, who have been in terrible form of late, have been pushed to the brink.
