Manchester United traveled to Luton town for the third round of the Carabao cup. It ended up as a routine win for Unted after struggles in the first half.
Here are three things #ManUtdNaijaFM learnt:
1. "JUST TRY YOUR BEST"
It is getting clearer that these words are the summary of United's tactics of play now. For the second game in a row this season, it appears that Olè simply chose the players and told them: 'try your best, and you shall find favour in front of goal".......no tactical input!!
Maybe we are still in pre-season.
2. LINGARD IS BACK!
Jesse 'Awilo' Lingard is back to being in the good books of Olè. The beloved one somehow managed to play 90 minutes, while Mata(probably the best player on the pitch) was dropped in the second half.
In Naija parlance we would say "wetin Lingard give Olè chop"?
3. BRUNO-RASHFORD-MASON
The trio came into the second half and helped to seal the victory for United by combining excellently for the last two goals.
However, the fact that we needed them to beat Luton, highlights the fact that the team has little or no tactical input but depends on individual brilliance.
IN THE END, United progressed to the fourth round of the Carabao cup.
Congrats to Dean Henderson on his senior United debut which was quite good and Juan Mata on his 200th appearance for United capped with a goal.
GLORY GLORY MAN UNITED.......OLUWA IS INVOLVED.
