Matthijs de Ligt made his feelings perfectly clear after Manchester United’s convincing 3-0 Premier League victory over Leicester City on Sunday evening.
The Red Devils have seen a turnaround in form under Ruben Amorim in recent weeks and Manchester United secured three points against Leicester City.
United took the lead against Leicester City in the first half at the King Power Stadium after Rasmus Hojlund broke the deadlock in the Premier League clash.
The Red Devils came out after the break with a 1-0 scoreline in their favour and Ruben Amorim’s men built on their momentum in the second half.
Alejandro Garnacho extended United’s lead at the King Power Stadium before Bruno Fernandes added his name to the scoresheet in the 90th minute.
United are 13th in the Premier League table after Sunday’s 3-0 win and the Red Devils played their final match in March before the start of the international break.
Amorim’s side are 12 points adrift from the Premier League top four in the 2024-25 campaign and United have won 10 of their 29 league matches this season.

What Ruben Amorim said about Man Utd after Leicester City win is a real eye-opener
Speaking about the Premier League result at the King Power, United manager Amorim admitted that the Red Devils “deserved the win” on Sunday.
“I think it was good,” he said, as per Manchester United’s official website.
“I felt a little bit [of] a lack of energy, but they gave everything. Some players were tired and also with the Ayden [Heaven] problem.
“I think we deserved the win and we controlled the game. We could be better with the ball but I understand after these two weeks with a lot of games.
“I think the lads deserved the win. And it was a perfect way to end this week with the win for our away supporters.”
United will now return to Premier League action on 1st April for their clash against Nottingham Forest at City Ground, with kick-off slated for 8pm UK time.
