Watford 2-4 United: 5 Things We Learnt as United Watered down Watford.

Despite another '4-something' display, Manchester United gave her fans some serious hypertension at Vicarage Road against Watford.
Here a five things ManUtdNaijaFM learnt from this encounter:



1. REVIVAL! REVIVAL!! REVIVAL!!!
United's dressing room DJ, Ashley Young continued his rejuvenation with another wonderful display, scoring a delightful brace.
His first goal was FANTA-stic, the second goal (free kick) was not COKE-astic; It was ORIJIN-al!!!.....He bent it like Beckham.
Indeed, he seems to be living up to his name, getting 'Younger'. All we can say is "May this Revival continue".

2. THE 'JOLLOF' IS COOKING
United's 'Jollof' defender Victor Lindelof also seems to be on the revival pathway. Following his man of the match display against Brighton, the Swede put in another great display in the heart of the United defence today.
He put in good tackles and was given the huge task of shielding Watford's main threat, Richarlison.

Like Naija Party Jollof Rice, he is not fully cooked, but we can perceive the sweet aroma already......May the revival continue.


3. THE NUMBER 10 'WAHALA' CONTINUES
With Magic-Mickhi and Juan 'Bankole' Mata in poor form, José 'Uchenna' Mourinho had to call on Jesse 'Awilo' Lingard to fill in the Trequartista role today.

Luckily, he put in a very good shift with a lot of disturbing runs in the hole which gave the Watford defence some trouble, as well as an assist for Ashley Young.

To add 'Sharkee to the Roundabout', he scored a handsome solo goal......He rescued United today.


4. LUKAKU OWES LINGARD
For whatever reason, our 'Striker-in-chief', Romelu 'Timaya' Lukaku allowed his village people to have their way today. How he refused to score that open net remains a mystery....In Naija we would say "The thing weak me".

He needs to thank Jesse 'Awilo' Lingard for that last goal because Watford were beginning to knock on United's goal seriously. The smell of an equalizer was strong in the air.





5. NEMANJA 'AGU' MATIC IS KEY
The precious gift from Chelsea has been ever present for United this season with several man of the match displays.
He proved again today how pivotal he is to United's success this season. Following his removal, United conceded 2 goals in a very short time, and could have conceded more.
Good decision by Mourinho to remove him though, because we need him like Abokis need their transistor radio.


IN THE END, another 4-chester display ended Watford's beautiful run. United succeeded in changing their name from WatFORD to WatFALL

UP NEXT, Arsene 'Mugabe' Wenger's men; Same time, Same station, on Saturday.
