De Ligt voted Man of the Match at Spurs

In the poll in the United App and on ManUtd.com, some 75 per cent of the votes went to two Reds in particular.

Matthijs de Ligt scooped 40 per cent to narrowly finish top of the poll, ahead of Bryan Mbeumo who was chosen by 35 per cent of those who cast their vote.

De Ligt’s towering header at the back post in the 96th minute from a Bruno Fernandes corner ensured the Reds claimed a point from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and extended our unbeaten run to five matches.

The Dutchman is the only United player to have featured in every second of the Premier League campaign so far and is quietly emerging as one of Ruben Amorim’s most important players.
