""Of course, it's always easy to look to the manager but, in the end, the players on the pitch have to do it," the defender said. "You guys always talk about the system. "That also has a lot to do with focus, concentration and, if that's lacking in key moments, it's going to make a difference.""
"200 - Today was Ruben Amorim's 200th top-flight game as a manager. He has lost three more of his 33 Premier League games with Manchester United (17) than he did in 167 Primeira Liga matches (14). Standards. pic.twitter.com/Qz4jVWrCER - OptaJoe (@OptaJoe) September 27, 2025"
""If you lose this game, it's a big blow, obviously," De Ligt added."
Manchester United were beaten 3-1 by Brentford and sit 14th in the Premier League with seven points from six matches. The club is winless in eight Premier League away games, their worst away run since 2019. United have conceded the opening goal in 21 Premier League matches since Ruben Amorim's appointment, the most in the division. Since Amorim took the job, only Tottenham have earned fewer points than United's 34 among ever-present clubs. Amorim favors a 3-4-3 system and has faced criticism for not deviating. Matthijs de Ligt stressed that player focus, concentration and responsibility are decisive.
