Manchester United progressed into the quarterfinals of the UEFA Europa league after beating LASK at Old Trafford, setting up a clash with FC Copenhagen.
Here a 3 things #ManUtdNaijaFM learnt from the clash at Old Trafford:
1. MATA= FANTA + ALOMO BITTERS
Juan 'Bankole' Mata had a good and bad game last night. Most times, he was the only player on the pitch who looked capable of creating something but his final balls were awful back to back especially in the first half.
He however made up with the 2 assists for the 2 goals of the night.....fulfilling his name 'Bankole'.
2. FRUSTRATED IGHALO
Our own Odion Ighalo was consistently frustrated last night by the Mata-Lingard-James trio playing behind him. Creativity was zero.
Their combination to create a goal was like a Naija man attempting to make eba with ice block and garri!!
3. THE WORST OF JAMES
Daniel 'Osondu' James continued his decline in form and confidence against LASK. He was at his lowest ebb last night as he made zero impact in 90mins.
The rate at which he is going, he may soon become the best player in United's team C!!
IN THE END, one thing was crystal clear last night: we do not have a team B capable of producing any magic. Infact, the 'B' in that team stands for 'Bolor'.
If we want to make any progress next season, Ed Woodward needs to put up an advert that says "VACANCY! VANCANCY! VACANCY! Mass employment for team B at Manchester United. Please apply in person".
