United 4-1 Basaksehir: What We Learnt As United Bashed Basaksehir

Manchester United paid back Isatanbul Basaksehir with a 'pepper dem' coin at Old Trafford with a 4-1 thrashing after a previously shocking away loss.


Here's what #ManUtdNaijaFM learnt from the UCL night at Old Trafford.

1. FATHER 'BRUNO' CHRISTMAS
The Portuguese magician was at it again last night with another magnificent unselfish display.

He let off another chance to score a hatrick by gifting  the penalty(which has become his United birthright) to Rashford, similar to what he did for Edison Cavani. He has been fantastic as an individual player and a team player.

If only Ligard was still playing, maybe Bruno would have 'dashed' him a goal too to help his 'ministry'

2. DONNY VDB.
The Dutch midfielder started with Fred in midfield and was a delight to watch. His touches were sleek and smooth. His one-two quick touches were on point and his passes were as sharp as 'suya knife'

Overall he was a delight to watch and his collabo with Fred was like 'Corn and pear'.

3. EDISON CAVANI
The Uruguayan striker started his first game for United flanked by Martial and Rashford.

Though he did not get on the scoresheet, he was a constant 'wahala' for the Basaksehir defence with his off the ball movements and runs.
His work rate was good and it was good to see him get 90minutes under his belt.

4. GOOD TO SEE HIM AGAIN
It was a delight to see one of Old Trafford's favourites, Rafael Da Silva, return home for the first time since his exit.
The then baby-face twin has now become a man with 'bia-bia' as we say in Naija.

IN THE END, It was a good payback for the shocking loss at Istanbul. Despite, a rather poor second half, 4-1 was a good scoreline.

Kudos to Bruno who has now scored 21 goals, thus be coming the first midfielder in United's history to achieve that in less than 40 games for the club.

MAY THE GLORY DAYS RETURN TO OLD TRAFFORD.
