He wasn’t having a good time by any means. On the contrary, Leeds was more and made David de Gea work a lot. However, with 30 minutes remaining to go, Erik Ten Hag looked askance at the bench and reached out: Lisandro Martínez and Alejandro Garnacho jumped onto the pitch to change a story that had been twisted in every way…
It is that, both in the first half and at the start of the second, Marcelo Bielsa’s former team was in charge of the match. Some doubts in the background and the concern of Crysencio Summerville, generated several headaches for the Red Devils. Until, after the departure of Malacia and the entry of Lisandro, the fund settled. The world champion went on to pair up with Harry Maguire, who also sent some of his own, to convey some peace of mind. On the other hand, as the minutes passed, the Garnacho-Rashford duo began to make Illan Meslier, Leeds goalkeeper, sweat, who until now was a luxury spectator on the field. Little by little, he began to right the ship…
And with 10 minutes to go, after a great personal move by Shaw, Rashford appeared again, upside down, to get some air. The icing on the cake? Garnacho put it. When it seemed that United was going to try to lower the blind, the Argentine winger received a ball from Weghorst a few meters from the area, faced inside and defined against a post. Deluxe. Tremendous about 49, that he entered and changed the face of his people.
In this way, with the Argentines as their flag, United was momentarily escorting Arsenal (five points away), awaiting the clash between City and Aston Villa (they play this Sunday, starting at 1:30 p.m.).
