YEOVIL 0-4 UNITED: 5 Things We Learnt As United Made Yeovil Yoghurt

Manchester United paid a courtesy visit to Huish Park to discuss FA cup matters with Yeovil Town. The team ended up converting the stadium to a shopping mall and bought loads of gift(goals) to celebrate José's birthday.


Here are 5 things #ManUtdNaijaFM learnt from the birthday 'Shopping':

1. LONG LIVE ARSENE 'MUGABE' WENGER
Despite United's struggles to find their rhythm in the early stages of the game, United's new 'awoof' signing still weighed in with 1 key pass leading to the opening goal, 1 assist, determination to win the ball back, excellent driving runs and leadership from the front...


Arsene 'Mugabe' Wenger has just given José 'Uchenna' Mourinho a warlord to lead the United into the promised land, and he shall be named Alexis 'Balogun' Sanchez! 'Weh done sir', we appreciate!

2. WHO CAN QUENCH JESSE 'AWILO' LINGARD'S FIRE?
Just when it started to seem like Jesse 'Awilo' Lingard had forgotten his fantastic form in Dubai, the commissioner of Dance affairs popped up with a moment of brilliance for United's third goal.


Despite being surrounded by 5 Yeovil defenders like Police escorts, the England attacker still found his way into the Yeovil box to slot a FANTA-bulous finish into the bottom corner. Not a surprise, as the 'Azonto' master is not known for scoring 'moi-moi' goals.

3. ANDER 'AKINBODE' HERRERA LOVES YEOVIL
The last time United met Yeovil (under the regime of 'Oga Philosophy' - LVG), Ander Herrera scored one of the goals of the season with a fantastic quick turn and shot with his back to goal.


That love story continued today, as Herrera scored his first goal of the season against the League 2 side, finishing off a brilliant counter attacking move led by United's new 'ogbonge' number 7,  Alexis 'Balogun' Sanchez.

4. JOSÉ NEEDS TO STOP THE 'FELLAINI' TACTIC
Despite United starting with a front 3 of Sanchez, Mata, and Rashford today, the whole United team still seemed like they were instructed to play long balls to an imaginary  'Oga Fela' in the final third.

This often saw United failing to construct any clear cut chances, losing possession quickly and thereby putting the defence under pressure for most of the game.

United may have won, but based on the squad on show and their potential ability, the score gap could have been much wider.

5. MARCUS 'RASHIDI-YEKINI'
A much needed confidence boosting goal for the youngster, who has been in poor form recently.


The striker was duly rewarded for his hustling spirit today, as his never-say-die attitude allowed him to sneak home a finish to cut the ribbon for José 'Uchenna' Mourinho's 4-goal party!

IN THE END, it appeared like everyone was hustling to give the boss a gift- Carrick returned,  Rojo assisted a goal, Herrera scored, while 2 of Mourinho's subs also netted goals.
All in all, it was a perfect night for José, with the boss seeing through a FOUR-chester display, despite handing rests to 10 regular starting players.
