This match is just hot garbage

 

So the ref overturned a penalty he awarded because of minimal ball contact.
I mean, at least he did it himself instead of VAR but it was IMO too close to tell. So I expected he'd stay with original decision.

The re-take for United's penalty was correct.

Sorely lacking in creativity though with two holding midfielders. Struggling as expected to break WBA down

 

WBA defended well and the keeper made some good saves.
Tough side to break down, as Spurs discovered.

But there was too much overplaying at times from United, not enough movement to create the space required.
Still haven't cracked how to play well against teams like this.

 

yeah they probably should have sold messi when they had the chance. now they’ll lose him for nothing to city at the end of the season.

 

Yet Greizmann will turn up for France.

So much talent in that Barca team, but not the results.

 

You misspelled Pogba

 

Same problem.

And Varane

 

Varane plays well for France, so his issue can't just be only playing well with Ramos.

 

Attacking line up from United tonight

Surprised Ritchies not been along to find fault though.

 

Donny is starting!

Though the back 4 is still the same.
Given the schedule going forward is very hectic, really should be resting players as much as possible. Tuanzebe can easily play, so can Williams

Interesting front 3.
Seems like the right set-up to break down a defensive side.

Just got to not defend like idiots again as we did in Istanbul

 

There we go. Knew there would be something you weren't happy about

 

Bruno is proper United Captain material.

This is the second game he's given the ball to someone else when he was on a hat trick instead of scoring himself.

Leadership & team dedication

 

It's going to really suck watching Sancho leave this summer and Håland the summer after that

But, hot damn, they are phenomenal

 

Great for Dan James to get a goal.

VDB offers so much playing deep, especially if Pogba isn't playing.
Too defensive against WBA because of two holding midfielders.
He should start against PSG. Maybe with Matic instead of Fred.

Poor defending though. Miscommunication, allowing too many chances that better teams wouldn't have wasted.

 

doesn’t haaland have a release clause in his contract for the end of this season? he did in FM20 so I’m assuming it must be true

 

Are Manchester United still good on FM20?

if so, we need to talk.

 

No. It kicks in Summer of 2022.
