De Ligt scores his first goal for Manchester United

Defender Matthijs de Ligt has netted his first goal for Manchester United.

The 25-year-old Dutchman opened the scoring in the 35th minute of the fourth round match of the Premier League, heading in a cross from Bruno Fernandes following a corner kick.

It's worth noting that just two minutes before De Ligt's goal, the Red Devils' goalkeeper, André Onana, saved a penalty taken by Cameron Archer.

At halftime, Manchester United leads Southampton 2-0.

Matthijs de Ligt joined Manchester United from Bayern Munich last summer, signing a contract until the summer of 2029. Prior to this match, the defender had made three appearances for the Red Devils.
