Manchester United continued their acting in the FA cup movie titled 'The Hard way', as they dished out another red card to a top premier league team, Chelsea. 2 brilliant crosses met with 2 'fanta-wonderful' headers were just enough to take us to the quarter final. Here are five things #ManUtdNaijaFM  learnt from the lovely win: 1. THE 'VIRUS' IS SPREADING The 'Pogba-virus' has continued to spread and Chelsea did not have a vaccine for it today. Tonight, he attacked again, starting with a 'Jollof' cross to Herrera for the 1st goal and flying into Rashford's cross for a 'Suya' header into the net. He now has 9 goals and 7 assists since Olè took over. 2. DIAMOND 4-4-2, WIDE FORWARDS. With Lingard and Martial out injured, the new boss approached the Chelsea game with this brilliant formation. It was an all out attack formation with Mata given the number 10 role and Herrera allowed to go forward more o...

A thrilling game at Stamford Bridge saw Manchester United and Chelsea share the spoils. The Blues seemed headed for yet another chance win against United, until two 'CHIVITAstic' finishes from Martial turned the game in United's favour. Here are Five(5) things ManUtdNaijaFM learnt from the clash. 1. ANTHONY 'IKECHUKWU' MARTIAL TO THE RESCUE What a performance on the biggest stage. The French winger scored two 'fearfully and wonderfully' made goals to put United in the lead after going behind to a Chelsea goal. He has now scored 3 goals and assisted 1 in his last 3 starts for United. Another day at the office, proving yet again why he's United's best option on the left. At this point, Alexis Sanchez should either be played on the right wing, or RIGHT BENCH. 2. FIRST HALF 'KPALAVA' Another day, another horrible first half performance from the Red Devils. The Red Devils started the match with their 'anywhere-bele-face...

Old Trafford hosted Antonio Conte and his men in a return EPL clash. It ended in ecstasy for Manchester United as goals from the L-team (Lukaku & Lingard) sealed a 'Sunday Jollof-rice' victory for United. These are the five (5) things ManUtdNaijaFM learnt from the clash: 1. MOURINHO HEARD THE FANS' CRY The boss set up his team like a father who had heard the cry of his sons; starting Pogba on the left side of a midfield three and playing Alexis 'Balogun' Sanchez on the right/middle in a rotating 4-3-3 formation. It was a tactical masterpiece that left fans asking "So United can play like this? Why all the long balls in recent times? Where dis this script come from?". 2. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A LONG TIME. For the first time in a long time, United left the 'lob-the-ball-to-Fellaini/Lukaku' tactic at home and played the ball on the ground with some improved constructive play. For the first time in  a long ...
