For the Boys of Old
Trafford with a perfect start so far in the campaign, reminiscent of the good old
days of Sir Alex Ferguson was at the helm of the Red Devils.
Now under Jose Mourinho
a new era is already started under the Portuguese being in his second year.
With its third win of
the campaign, it looks like Manu is off to a great start of what promises to be
a positive campaign in this parts of Manchester.
As their first two matches
with eight goals scored over West Ham United and Swansea, todays win shows off their
defensive backfield delivering with three clean sheets for their goalie David
De Gea.
Sitting pretty in
first place with ten goals deferential over their closest foes, United is
looking forward to a prominent campaign and delivering the Barclays shield if
everything continues to go according to Jose Mourinho’s way.
Playing at home were
the Red Devils once enjoyed a certain dominance and perfection and this was
loss during Moyes era and even during Van Gaal despite the Dutch slight turnaround
and delivering the lone FA trophy.
Still it has not been
easy for the Portuguese as last campaign despite several setbacks and not finishing
among the top four but delivering a Champions spot for their overall Europa
League achievement.
With baby to giant steps,
all of a sudden, things are getting better in Trafford with three trophies delivered
so far and losing one trophy final to Real Madrid recently, still the outlook
for United is a lot better.
However, in tonight
has match the Red Devils did earned their pay with a stingy and very
conservative Leicester City defensive backfield and a rock star in Kasper Schmeichel
who stopped cold in his tracks the scoring momentum of Romelu Lukaku in the 53
minute.
As Lukaku coming from
a couple of matches scoring a total of three goals in the campaign with his
debut against the Hammers he delivered himself with a double, but today a first
for him of being held scoreless.
in the head of Jose
Mourinho many things came to his head and that is when he needed to make some
moves that at the end became opportune for the Portuguese.
The first move came
in the 67 with midfielder Juan Mata coming out for forward Marcus Rashford, second
was Henrik Mkhitaryan for Marouanne Fellaini in the 74 and last in the 76 was Jesse
Lingard substituted Anthony Martial.
So effective were the
moves of Mourinho, when Rashford started making all sorts of moves and plays
towards the posts defended by Schmeichel stirring things up for the Foxes
backfield, until the play that defined the match.
With a one two play
between Henrik Mkhitaryan passing to Mrcus Rashford he sent a cannon of a shoot
and beating the likes of the Dane for the first score of the game despite being
in a crowd inside the area, in the 70 Manu was 1-0.
By breaking the
momentum and brick wall that the City squad had imposed on United strikers, the
moves made by the locals manager became to pay off when another magnificent play
between Jesse Lingard and Marouanne Fellaini delivered.
Twelve minutes passed
and Lingard and Fellaini did not disappointed Mou with a brilliant play in the
82 to seal the deal and continue perfection for their Red Devils now reading to
play Stoke away at Bet 365 Stadium.
Despite win, this did
not come delivered in a plate as Manu boss is starting to see the thick of
competition in league play is starting, unfortunately the good game displayed
by Leicester City it became heartbreaker at the end.
