The joy of a treble
in Jose Mourinho’s first year in Old Trafford, very well delivering one of the most
coveted of trophies to the shelves of United’s honors rooms with a one of a
kind Europa Cup.
Who said that the Portuguese
would not deliver in his first stint at Manchester!
As his Red Devils did
the ultimate of feats and proved the critics right this time by winning one of
the worlds coveted of awards for clubs, this second to the always-celebrated and prestigious Champions League.
With a campaign that
saw many setbacks at times for United and many were critical of the way Mou was
handling this squad, still a sixth place finish is not bad at all as next
campaign the rumors of many well know players are becoming stronger.
Especially that they
have assured their pass automatically to Champions League.
However, the glory of
Man United once again is back and aloud too many of its followers seeing how
their club is back into the spotlight of world football after beating a young
Ajax FC to win this coveted trophy.
The men delivered and
very well by seeing how two of its most expensive of players in Henrik
Mkhitaryan and Paul Pogba delivering in the most opportune of moments to seal the
deal.
The former Borussia Dortmund
man, the Armenian was a notable and important player, during this international
competition, showing off his might not too visible in Premiership but his
contributions were important in this tournament for his club.
Very well seeing how
a confident Pogba a man the critics have made a mockery in this campaign for
being one of the most expensive players to come to Old Trafford and his
contribution not so excessive but today he really silenced many.
Putting a ball behind
the nets defended by the Sons of the Gods squad, Andre Onana who saw the shoot
of the French and that opened the early score in the eighteenth minute to open
the doors to an inspired Red Devils squad.
Later came on the
second half it is when Mhkitaryan shoot with a half with just two minutes of
play and 47 minutes in the clock, he scored the go ahead and virtual winner for
the Manu squad.
Not only Mourinho has
become the manager that has won both champions and Europa Leagues but puts his
Red Devils among the elite of clubs of the likes of Juventus, Chelsea, Ajax
and Bayern Munich.
As the Portuguese today
played his cards right and looking forward to the next edition of Champions to
display his might and looking forward in Premiership if he and his United Boys
can deliver the League shield.
By keeping Pogba,
Mkhtaryan, Romero, Fellaini, Mata in his initial eleven, these made the overall
difference by displaying their one of a kind football and delivering today in
Sweden an important piece of silverware.
At the end, the name
of Manchester United once again is in the mouths and thoughts of soccer fans in
the world and now its turn to do the ultimate of feats next campaign of
delivering many more joys to Old Trafford.
Three is the number
of trophies that those Boys of Manchester United won, remember the Community
Shield, EFL Cup and now the Europa League, as Jose Mourinho despite being as controversial,
he delivers.
