'It's just f****d' - Man Utd defender Matthijs de Ligt's honest response to horrific Netherlands error against Bosnia & Herzegovina

Ronald Koeman's team secured a 5-2 win over Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Nations League on Saturday, but the scoreline, arguably, flattered the Dutch. Manchester United centre-back De Ligt was at fault for both of the away side's goals, especially Edin Dzeko's strike that made it 3-2 with 17 minutes left. While manager Koeman downplayed De Ligt's errors, the 25-year-old was very critical of his actions.

The former Bayern Munich ace said after the game: "I think you know how I feel... we won... but then comes the individual part. I should have done better at their second goal, and I know that. I don't really know what happened. I should have cleared the ball but I kept having doubts during the play. It's just f****d."

De Ligt swapped Bayern for United last month for a fee that could rise to £43 million ($56.4m) but performances like this for the Netherlands will not breed much confidence in him going forward. Manager Erik ten Hag will hope the defender can cut out those mistakes when he is playing for the Red Devils soon.

Despite his mistakes, Koeman said on De Ligt: "He himself realises that he was in the wrong position. This should not happen, but mistakes are part of football. I think it is unfair to make a big deal out of it."

It remains to be seen if he will start for the Dutch against Germany on Tuesday in their next Nations League game.
