Matthijs De Ligt collided with Sepp Van Den Berg's knee in a duel for the ball at Old Trafford on Saturday in the Premier League match between Manchester United and Brentford, leaving the former Bayern player with a bloody gash on his head.
The Manchester United player was absent for a few minutes to treat his injury but decided to continue playing when his injury reopened. His head wound began to bleed brutally for the second time when the Bees earned a corner-kick.
The absence of the Dutchman caused Brentford to score the opener in injury time after Damsgaard's corner-kick. The Red Devils went into the break very angry, with the fans whistling at the referee for his decisions.
It was a controversial goal on social media but the recklessness of Erik ten Hag's coaching staff cost his players dearly. Even so, De Ligt was not replaced in the second period. But the hosts knew how to make amends for their mistakes to come from behind at Old Trafford.
