Man Utd star Matthijs de Ligt made a mistake leading to a goal for the Holland

MATTHIJS DE LIGT made it THREE howlers in the space of a week after another blunder handed Germany a goal.

De Ligt had a nightmare on Saturday when he was at fault for both Bosnia and Herzegovina strikes in Holland’s 5-2 Nations League win.

The new Manchester United man admitted “it’s f***ed up” in an X-rated assessment of his horror performance.

But his woes struck again just three days later when the Dutch took on Germany in Amsterdam.

De Ligt collected the ball just outside his own penalty area seven minutes before the break, with his side in front thanks to Tijjani Reijnders’ early strike.

However, the bungling ex-Bayern Munich defender inexplicably misplaced his pass into midfield and saw it intercepted.

Germany pounced and within two passes had a deflected shot on goal.

Bart Verbruggen made the initial save but the ball fell kindly for Denis Undav who fired home emphatically to level the match.

The TV cameras soon cut to a dejected De Ligt who had his hands on his hips in disbelief at another glaring fumble.

Captain, and Liverpool star, Virgil van Dijk was clearly furious with his team-mate, slamming his hand into the ground repeatedly before appearing to vent his anger towards him.

And fans watching the action wasted no time laying into the struggling star.

Although some optimistic United fans desperately hoped De Ligt was simply getting his errors out of the way before returning to his top form at Old Trafford.

One said: “Everything under control and then such a mistake by Matthijs de Ligt, this is simply unacceptable. I love him but he simply can’t get rid of these mistakes in his career, and it looks like he never will.”

Another wrote: “Do you think it’s fair to call Matthijs de Ligt finished after this mistake?”

A third added: “Man Utd have got both Harry Maguire and Dutch Harry Maguire in De Ligt.”

A fourth commented: “I don’t know why I’m having the former Harry Maguire vibes. Any cause to be worried #MUFC fans?”

A fifth joked: “De Ligt getting all his mistakes out for Netherlands so he can drop top performances for United.”

And a final user said: “Man Utd DNA in this De Ligt performance for Netherlands, another mistake.”

Just moments after the De Ligt error leading to Germany’s equaliser, his fellow defender Nathan Ake seemingly pulled his hamstring.

The Manchester City ace had to be carried off on a stretcher and was on the brink of tears.

And the Oranje’s shocking few minutes went for bad to worse when Joshua Kimmich drifted past Van Dijk and scored in the third minute of first-half injury time to put the 2014 world champions in front.

De Ligt then got hauled off at half-time in a brutal snub, replaced by Brighton’s Jan Paul van Hecke for the second half.

Denzel Dumfries made it 2-2 five minutes after the break, though, to secure a point for Ronald Koeman’s side.

De Ligt looks set to return to action for the Red Devils away at Southampton on Saturday lunchtime.
