Mail Sport's Chris Sutton has blasted Matthijs De Ligt as 'clunky' after he was dropped by Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag.
United are enduring their worst-ever start to a Premier League season under the Dutchman, sitting 14th in the top flight table after seven games with just eight points to their names.
Last time out, they drew 0-0 with Aston Villa, helped largely due to the performance of 36-year-old Jonny Evans at centre back as Ten Hag changed his first-choice defensive pairing.
Harry Maguire partnered the veteran until half time, when he went off injured, but United looked more assured at the back after conceding six goals in two games to Tottenham and Porto just days before.
