Leicester 0-2 United: 5 Things We Learnt As United Secured A Champions League Spot

'Las las', as we say in Naija, Manchester United qualified for the UEFA champions league by coming third in the league despite being 15 points behind in January.

Here are 5 things #ManUtdNaijaFM learnt from this victory:

1. LUKE 'AJEBOTA' SHAW HAS BEEN MISSED.
Luke Shaw's absence has surprisingly caused a huge imbalance to the team. Brandon William's has struggled and Rashford's poor form has become even more obvious.

Today as  in the last two games, United's left side was completely 'paralysed'.

2. SOLID LINDELOF
Our 'jollof' defender put up another solid performance today in the heart of the defence. He won 100% of his tackles and aerial duels and completed 80% of his passes.


His crucial interceptions ensured Jamie Vardy did not do his usual scoring against United.

3. TIRED BRUNO
Bruno 'Oliseh' Fernandes continued to show signs of fatigue. Today, it was obvious for the blind to see. The Portuguese magician was playing with his 'last power'.

Thankfully, it was enough to give that 'wicked' pass that won the penalty. And when he was called to deliver, he answered 'yes sir' as usual and sent Schmeichel to buy gala.

4. LINGARDINHO!!
The sight of Jesse 'Awilo' Lingard coming in for Mason Greenwood was definitely one of the scariest moments in the history of the Premier league. It was an unbelievable substitution.


However, in one of the most shocking moments of the season, Kapser Schmeichel gave him an assist and the famous Lingardinho scored the last goal of the 2019/20 season after 34 league appearances!! Wonders shall indeed never end.

5. SPECIAL KUDOS
Kudos to Harry 'Okute' Maguire who became the first outfield player to play every minute of the premier league for Manchester United since Gary Pallister in 1994/95 season.

United was awarded her 14th penalty in the EPL, becoming the first team to win 14 penalties in a single season in the history of the EPL. This was down to the through passes and forward runs, so kudos to the team.

Manchester United went 14 games unbeaten in the EPL, their last defeat being against Burnley in January....Kudos.


Kudos also to David De Gea who has now beaten Peter Schmeichel's record for number of clean sheets as he earned his 113th clean sheet for United today. 

IN THE END, from being 15 points behind Leicester in January, to qualifying for the champions league in third position with 2 points above Leicester, the team has done well!!
You deserve 3 'Gbozas'-
Gboza! Gboza!! Gboza!!


GLORY GLORY MAN UNITED.......NO MORE 5TH-CHESTER!!
