Manchester United produced a thrilling show in Moscow to score another 4 goals in Champions League last night where CSKA got a last moment consolation goal. Here are 10 things we learned:
☝️Anthony Martial is *the Winger: In the last 3 matches where the Frenchman has featured, he's been impactful because he can make the run, get past defenders and most of all, make good passes across. Martial is hard to displace and his turns are poetic. I think it's an injustice leaving him out.
👊 Matic is everywhere: I was torn between trying to follow his movements - every once in a while, you could see him pointing where he wanted the ball to go and it was the kind of game management we've not seen since Roy Keane. Wow!
🎉 So, Lukaku has decided to just keep scoring. My goodness, his power and speed are terrifying. Great performance.
🔴 David De Sea was disappointed with that one goal past his post but overall, he kept it clean and world class.
👊 Daley Blind's pressing forward is a thing of beauty. Did you notice how he disposed and harassed. Wow. These are the kinds of matches he thrives in.
📌 Rashford is straight number 9. His game is not on the wing and he did not/could not do much there. Also, after seeing how Martial did it, I think Mou needs to find a way to keep the lad in the middle.
🔴 Lingard.
👊 Ashley Young's presence on the other side of the pitch was very much like Blind -and while some of us were worried about the lack of wingers and injuries, great to see him coming on...
👊 Darmian should have scored. He's a wingback though, so we chalk it up to being conditioned to feat putting a ball behind the net. 😂😂🤣
👊 When's the last time we had such a consistent midfield? You have to give it to Herrera for stepping up and continuing the trend. Maybe it's the Matic effect, but hey, we celebrate these guys.
🎉 Speaking of celebrations, Henrikh Mkhitaryan is that player who pushed on. I loved how he made that opportunistic goal. It's the work of a number 10. He's proving to be the one.
