Here are five(5) things ManUtdNaijaFM learnt today:

1. 'MARTIAL ARTS'
Anthony "Ikechukwu' Martial put up another dazzling display today. He was a consistent 'Chuku-chuku' (thorn) in the flesh of the Everton defenders.


He iced his performance with a 'COKE-astic' goal, after gifting United a penalty in the first half. We want more of 'this Martial'.

2. POGBA: THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY.
United's 'Swaggerlicious' midfielder had a game with all shades today.
From almost missing a penalty, through being at fault for Everton's goal, to finally assisting Martial for his second goal, the French man had it all today.


It appears Pickford came ready for him as he denied him severally with some really good saves.

3. ALEXIS NEEDS A SEAT BELT
Though sad and still unbelievable, the exile of  Alexis 'Balogun' Sanchez to 'bench island' for a holiday has brought new life to the United team.



Martial has replaced him on the left wing, and suddenly a wing which had become dormant has now produced 4 beautiful goals in 4 games!!

With Martial's  current form, we may need a seatbelt for him on that bench.

4. FRED NOT YET 'RED' ENOUGH
New signing Fred was restored to the starting XI today and gave his best. However the Brazilian still has some way to go in blending  jnto the team.


His major weakness was still evident- easy loss of possession. He needs to work on that fast as fans would love to see him shine.

5. VACANCY! VACANCY! VACANCY!
After 8 matches of goal 'harmattan', Romelu 'Timaya' Lukaku was dropped from the starting XI & replaced with our 'whiz-kid' Rashford.



The teenager still appeared low in confidence in his favourite position. We can only thank God for Martial's current form, otherwise the goal harmattan would have been worse.

A target man is urgently needed at Old Trafford. Fans, please apply in person!

IN THE END, United made it 100 goals and 36 wins against Everton in the Premier league with today's victory, thanks to the French 'collabo'.

OPINION POLL
What should United do about the current situation in the  No9 position?



 GLORY GLORY MAN UNITED.
