Juventus 1-2 United: Five(5) Things We Learnt From Another Great Comeback

It was a glorious night at Turin, as Manchester United in a typical Naija fashion, 'put pepper into Juventus eye'. For the second consecutive game, United snatched victory in Fergie-time; Say hello to the new Comeback kings!!


Here are five(5) things #ManUtdNaijaFM learnt from this super comeback:


1. DE GEA VS RONALDO
Having scored a hatrick against our own 'Osinachi' De Gea at the world cup, CR-7 did it again with a fantastic volley. It was indeed a beauty.




The most interesting part of the goal was De Gea's reaction. He looked at Ronaldo and looked at the ball inside his net and seemed to say 'Na lie!'.....Well, thank God De Gea had the last laugh.

2. ANOTHER JUAN-TASTIC FREE KICK.
For the 10th time in his career, Juan 'Bankole' Mata scored a 'Hossana' free-kick. It was beautiful seeing the ball dancing 'One-corner dance' inside the Juventus goal.


Juan Mata seems to have oiled his free-kick boots and at this rate, if United have a f…

FA Metes Out Punishment for Mourinho vs Chelsea Coach Combat

Chelsea's assistant coach Marco Ianni has been fined £6000 for his 'over-sabi' (exuberant) celebration of Ross Barkley's last minute equalizer for Chelsea two weeks ago.

The 'gori-makpa'(bald-headed) coach jumped in front of Mourinho in wild celebration after the goal and immediately almost got beaten by a furious Josè Mourinho.

He was lucky that stewards were quick to hold him back, otherwise, the football match would have been converted to a royal rumble!
Thankfully, despite Mourinho's reaction, the English FA ruled that the conduct of Coach Ianni was inappropriate and was therefore fined £6000!! 


We hope the coach has learnt a lesson and will learn to obey the popular Naija saying; "Dey your lane".

United 0-1 Juventus: 5 Things We Learnt As Juventus Jumped The United Hurdle.

It was another below-par performance by Manchester United as they hosted a CR7-led Juventus at Old Trafford.


Here are 5 matters arising from the defeat:

1. TOO MUCH RESPECT
From the 1st whistle, one thing was crystal clear: Manchester United kept prostrating at the feet of Juventus like the Yoruba tribe of Naija greeting their 'Kabiyesi'(King).


There was too much caution in the play, making the Juventus players so relaxed. From the 75th minute when caution was thrown away, Juventus started making mistakes. If this was started early,........

2. PUNISHED FOR SLOW START
In recent matches, United have had to come from behind to grind out results due to consistent slow starts.




Against Juventus, United started badly again, with the usual 'Anywhere-belè-face' football which led to the goal by Dybala.
Sadly, there was no chance for recovery.


3. ROMELU 'TIMAYA' LUKAKU 
United's 'Striker-in-chief' has failed to find the back of the net in recent games. More worry…

With this in mind, here's how we expect the boss to line up his team.

UNITED 1-2 SEVILLA: FIVE MATTERS ARISING AS SEVILLA SENT UNITED PACKING

Manchester United welcomed Sevilla to Old Trafford for one of the most crucial games of the season thus far, with high hopes of progressing.

However, Two goals in 5minutes from Ben Yedder was more than enough to end the Champions League dream at The Theatre of Dreams.

Here are five matters arising from this unceremonious exit:

1.....AND FELLAINI RETURNED

José Mourinho's adopted son and panic button 'Oga' Fela, who had been out for almost 3 months returned and was thrown in straight into the starting XI .

It was painful to see the boss do this. A Matic - Fellaini 'collabo' against a fast, free flowing side like Sevilla? That was asking a Benz 4-Matic to race against a 'Keke-na-pep' (tricycle).

2. WHY CHANGE A WINNING TEAM? WHY?

Why JosĂ© Mourinho decided to do what we call in Naija 'Try ya luck'  on a crucial night like this remains a mystery.

A consistent team had just won 3 straight games with good displays in a new 4-3-3 formation. Why change a winn…

CONFIRMED MANCHESTER UNITED STARTING XI vs SEVILLA

The team sheets are out. The starting XI sees José make two changes from the side that beat Liverpool at the weekend.



We hope this José 'Uchenna' Mourinho's 'try-your-luck' midfield pairing hasn't destroyed our chances for qualification to the next round.

LIKELY UNITED LINE-UP vs SEVILLA AND LATEST INJURY UPDATE

Manchester United are set to take on Sevilla in a high stakes clash tonight, with one of the teams set to be knocked out of the UEFA Champions League 2017/2018 campaign.

The Red Devils came off the first leg with a risky goalless draw, which could turn out destructive for United if the match ends in a draw with goals from both sides.

In line with customs and traditions, José 'Uchenna' Mourinho held a pre-match press conference where updated the press on the latest team news and injury updates.

According to the boss, United are set to welcome back Anthony 'Ikechukwu' Martial to the squad, as he has recovered fully from the injury which kept him out of United's win against Liverpool. The French dazzler was pictured training on Monday alongside Pa Zlatan 'Ekwueme' Ibrahimovic, who continues to build up his fitness ahead of a return to first team action.


It remains to be seen whether Paul 'Ikenna' Pogba will be present in the squad, as he wasn't pi…

UNITED 2-0 BENFICA: 5 THINGS WE LEARNT AS UNITED BENT BENFICA AGAIN.

'Tuesday Night Raw' at Old Trafford ended with a pin-fall victory for Manchester United.
These are the five things ManUtdNaijaFM learnt from the game:


1. MOURINHO HAD AN EYE ON CHELSEA
With United set to play Chelsea over the weekend, JosĂ© 'Uchenna' Mourinho made wholesale changes to the  squad that beat Tottenham in order to rest some key players.


One notable absentee was Ander 'Akinbode' Herrera who may be preparing for another 'Eden-Hazard-Chewing-Gum" role on Saturday.

2. A GAME OF TWO HALVES
United started the 1st half very poorly. It appeared they didn't hear the whistle and thought they were still in the warm up session. They made Benfica look like Barcelona in their glory days of Tiki-Taka.




The 2nd half however saw a great change in the attitude and play when it appeared Benfica '1(ted)-2' do us a 'Huddersfield'.

3. MARTIAL IS A BAG OF TRICKS
Anthony 'Ikechukwu' Martial once again made a mockery of Benfica's defenc…
