100 for Rashford.... Defensive masterclass.

Image
                                          Not our best game as a team. The bench and second team players are not at the first team level, but what a defensive masterclass it was from the team. Martinez was colossal, despite playing against a highly physical team. Take that Carrahager. Dalot brilliant. Maguire had a bad first half both defensively and breaking the flow of the game while we were trying to attack, but he redeemed himself in the second half as he made really crucial blocks to keep us in the game. David de Gea take a bow. He can save the fucking titanic.  Rashford with an absolute world-class finish for his 100th goal for Manchester United. That header was a prime Ronaldo header. Elanga is one-dimensional and was really ineffective in attack, due to which we didn't pose any threat from the right-hand side.  Five clean sheets in a row for de Gea at Old Trafford. ...

Outstanding Garnacho garners attention... Ronaldo scores

Image
 Not the best game but also not the worst, we got the job done like professionals.  Let's start with Garnacho. He was my man of the match. Garnacho was waiting in the sidelines all season, and he seized and grabbed the opportunity with both his hands as he gave an amazing performance. The Argentinian's debut was a statement and a wake-up call to Sancho, who's been performing poor lately. Garnacho faced the Sherrif defenders head-on and not shying away from challenging his opponents, a flair that Sancho has been lacking this season. I would rather have a player who challenges his opponents no matter how many times he fails until he succeeds than a player who passes back and avoids the challenges. The 18-year-old was lively in the first-half who faded in the second half, but I hope we get more such performances.  Coming to Antony, he had a bad game. The roulette spin in the first half and the miss pass following that sums up his game. Addressing the elephant in the room, Ro...

Nobody did it like Beckham

Nobody did it like Beckham Today marks 30 years since David Beckham made his professional debut for Manchester United. On this occasion, I decided to give a tribute to a great player and one of my idols. Who is Beckham? Well, for starters, he is one of the most popular people in the world. He's known worldwide and a household name, even for non-football fans. Why? His looks, obviously. But for me and any sane football fan, the word Beckham reminds us of a person who was one of the best footballers of his generation. Known for his pinpoint passes, crossing ability and the sexy free-kicks, work rate and his dribbling as a right-midfielder, winger, centre midfielder. He could play anywhere! Early Life David Robert Joseph Beckham was born in London, England. He was given the middle name Robert in honour of Bobby Charlton, his father's favourite player. If you don't know who Bobby is, consider reading my previous blog. His parents were die-hard United fans who frequently travell...

Never say ManU

Image
Busby Babes First blog in 2 years. Is there a better way to start again than explaining the newer fans why a person must never say ManU.   Let's go back to 6th February 1958. The team was returning from a European match, having defeated Red Star Belgrade in the Quarter-Finals. The flight stopped in Munich to refuel because a non-stop flight back to Manchester was unrealistic back in the days.  The British European Airways Flight 609 crashed on its third attempt to take off from an ice covered runway. The aircraft was carrying the Manchester United team, nicknamed the Busby Babes. The crash not only derailed the team's title ambitions, but also destroyed the nucleus of what could've been the greatest team of their generation. The fatalities included Duncan Edwards, who initially survived the crash but died in hospital about 2 weeks later. It took 10 years for the club to recover after the tragedy, having won the European cup led by the man Busby in 1968. The rebuild After th...

Manchester United fed up with Pogba and are willing to sell him?

Image
Its been months since transfer rumours about  Pogba leaving the team started and it doesn't look like it's going to end any time soon. A report  also suggests that Pogba has revealed to his team-mates that he will be leaving the club in summer and there is no surprise in the fact that Real Madrid and Juventus are leading by a mile in the race for Pogba's signature. It is also indicated that Man United are fed up with Pogba. so I expect that United will go all out to sell Pogba at any costs and sign 2-3 good players who are actually willing to play for Utd at any point of time. This will also offload some high wages we are giving to a player every week only for him not even interested in the club anymore. Now, talking about his transfer, its obvious Real and Juve the only contenders for the World Cup winner though neither were willing to meet Utd's asking price of £180M asking price. According to the Sun , however, their interest could be reignited with The Red...

MANCHESTER UNITED VS WOLVES PREDICTED XI

Image
Manchester United will be playing Wolves today in an highly exciting clash. Wolves have been a bogey team for both the Manchester teams since the past few head to head fixtures. Wolves have won both the fixtures against Manchester City season. The last time, these both sides met, ManU managed to get a narrow 1-0 win with Juan Mata scoring the winning goal. Despite a poor record against Wolves, Utd are unbeaten in 11 home games against them (W9 D2). It was a 1-1 draw in the reverse fixture.  Here is the Predicted XI United will play against Wolves: FORMATION : I'm expecting United to line up in a (3-2-2-2-1). GK: David de Gea is an obvious choice and is expected to keep his spot. The shot-stopper had a great game against Man City in the 2nd leg of semi-finals keeping them in the game. RB:  Aaron wan Bissaka is also keeping his place. There is no other Right-Back in the team right now who can replace the beast. He's established himself as one...
