De Ligt, who emerged as a first teamer under Erik ten Hag at Ajax, could not help his old boss keep his United job. It was the penalty he gave away that saw West Ham win the final game of Ten Hag's reign. With Ten Hag now replaced by Ruben Amorim, De Ligt believes things could have turned out differently.

Matthijs de Ligt says it's important that Manchester United move on from Erik ten Hag's sacking and focus on the future.The Red Devils dismissed Ten Hag in the aftermath of last month's 2-1 defeat to West Ham United and subsequently appointed Ruben Amorim as the club's first ever 'head coach'.
