“If he wants to win trophies and be great, He has to leave Man United and join us immediately”: Chelsea Caoch Enzo Maresca impressed by Man United’s youngster performance against Arsenal, promised to sign him by all means
Manchester United were on the losing side against Arsenal on Sunday morning, here are five things we learned.
Rasmus Hojlund thought he had the dream start to pre-season when he scored early against Arsenal, but it wasn’t to be as he very soon after departed with an injury.
The Manchester United striker’s absence was felt, and Arsenal then came back to win 2-1 in LA. Hojlund was joined in taking an early bath by Leny Yoro who also picked up an injury.
Despite this, there were numerous positive factors to take from the game with some nice football being played early on.
Here are the five things we’ve learned from the game.
On the ball, Amass is so good to watch with his dribbling and pressure-evading runs too good for his senior opponents to handle.
He was unfortunate to have seen Gabriel Jesus score given the Brazilian was more than likely offside, but all-in-all he had a great game and we imagine his role in the first team this season is secured.
Clear improvements in structure since last season
Last season, the way the team was set up was ridiculous and almost always ended horribly for United.
But against Arsenal, there were clear changes which are improvements in the team’s structure with and without the ball.
The midfield is no longer empty with a disciplined pairing there and then on the ball, the defensive line is very high which lessens the chance of the gaps we saw last season
