“Fergie Time”, individualities and defense in progress: Manchester United can hurt

It’s the return of “Fergie Time”. While everything suggested that Manchester United and Wolverhampthon were going to part with a goalless draw on the lawn of Old Trafford. Nay. Sir Marcus Rashford, launched in the back in the defense, decided otherwise, crucifying Wolves on a deflected strike in the 94th minute.

This victory snatched in the last seconds of the meeting will do good in the heads of the players of Soljskaer. Because it proves that even in closed meetings where it is difficult to find solutions, the individual qualities of Mancunians can make the difference. And the strength of character shown by the Red Devils on Tuesday night bodes well for the future.

From an accounting standpoint, this victory is a very good operation. Manchester United is two points behind their great rival Liverpool, who have one game less. What to dream of for the future? And why not. “There is no title race after 15 games, but you can lose the opportunity to be in the race. Let’s play 15 more games and at 30 we can then start talking about the title race“Solskjaer said after his team’s victory. This meeting against Wolverhampton gives encouraging signs for the second half of the season. But also avenues for improvement.

Defensively, the Red Devils were very solid and could count on an excellent David De Gea. To claim the first places in the league, the Spanish goalkeeper and his defense have every interest in repeating this kind of service. Today, Manchester United have the 13th defense in the Premier League with 23 goals conceded. Which is too much in view of Mancunian ambitions.

To stay as long as possible in the top three of the championship, it will also be necessary to count on a better Paul Pogba. Tuesday evening, as for several weeks, the French midfielder was not at his best level. Far from there. His desires elsewhere may have repercussions on his performances, no doubt even. But if he is indeed “1000% involved with Manchester United“as he said in a post on Instagram,”The deck“will have to raise his level of play. Because with a Pogba in top form, Manchester United will have enough to shake its competitors.

Eliminated from the Champions League and transferred to the Europa League, Manchester United can (must?) Make the Premier League their main objective. Well placed in the standings after 16 days, the Red Devils have the ingredients to make a season up to what the club represents. The Mancuniens will no doubt be keen to titillate their eternal rivals in the title race. The second part of the season can be hot across the Channel …
