Virgil van Dijk was left furious after Manchester United defender Matthijs de Ligt made an error leading to an equaliser in the Netherlands’ Nations League fixture against Germany.

The pair lined up at centre-back against Germany, and watched on as Ronald Koeman’s side took a second-minute lead through AC Milan midfielder Tijjani Reijnders.

But the Netherlands fell apart from then on – with an error from De Ligt preceding a chain of disastrous events.

Attempting to play out from the back, the new United signing’s pass was intercepted, resulting in a Germany move that was finished off by former Brighton forward Denis Undav.

After the goal went in, a livid Van Dijk punched the ground in frustration before appearing to gesture towards his defensive partner.

De Ligt was then substituted at half-time by Koeman, with the Netherlands 2-1 down after Joshua Kimmich gave Germany the lead.

He was replaced by Brighton defender Jan Paul van Hecke, who slotted in alongside Van Dijk at centre-back.

Denzel Dumfries then levelled the scores once more with a 51st-minute goal for Koeman’s side, who beat Bosnia and Herzegovina 5-2 in their opening Nations League match in League A.
