RACE FOR TOP FOUR CONTINUES

       VS    


       The Barclays Premier League action returned last week after a weeks break due to several International matches that took place two weeks ago and Manchester United looked to continue the chase for Champions League football next season with a win against fierce rival visitors Everton. Manchester United had a chance before the start of the game to close the gap on fourth Place team and fierce rivals Manchester City to one point with a win so anything but a win against Everton would be seen as a huge lost opportunity in our quest for Champions League football next season.
                                             

      One huge news that faced Manchester United before kick off was the continued absence of our famorse Captain Wayne Rooney. Rooney, a boyhood Everton fan and ex Everton player loves to play and score against Everton. Rooney has enjoyed playing against his boyhood team because the Manchester United captain has been consistently involved in the goals the team has scored against the Merseyside Blues so Manchester United players and fans alike must have felt a void in the team as the game kicked off.
                              
                                              

     However, the team handled itself very well with the coach's strategy of playing Marcus Rashford upfront and Anthony Matial on the wing and the two young lads combined to create the winning goal once again with Martial providing the finishing touch to guarantee that Manchester United established another Impressive victory at Old Trafford  this season cutting the gap between us and Arch Rival Manchester City to one point in our continued chase four top four finish as we keep chasing  Champions League Qualification next season.

                                      

    One thing I really loved to see as we played Everton was the way each and every Manchester United worked extremely hard together to help the team get the win in a tough Merseyside environment. The Attackers were dropping deep to help the Midfield and defence in retrieving the ball back from the opposition when the pressure was high and also how Manchester United midfielders and defenders played high pressing football by encouraging the defenders and midfielders to occasionally get up the pitch and support our young attackers up front, I thought Matteo Darmian and Rojo did excellent  job at overlapping in the wings and supplying balls in the box for our attackers. Mata Carrick and Lingard were excellent at creating and controlling plays in the midfield and Herrera was also instrumental in adding more quality in the midfield when he was substituted into the game.
  So with the win against Everton that makes it four wins out of the last five matches in the Barclays Premiere League for Manchester United which includes a huge Derby win against Manchester City two weeks ago. That is a huge momentum to carry into another huge match against second place team Tottenham Hotspurs this weekend. The Old Trafford fans will be hoping that Manchester United can pull out another huge win as the chase for top four continues.
                                                   


   Before I sign off today i will like to congratulate Sir Bobby Charlton as Manchester United honours him for his incredible Service to the club by renaming the Old Trafford  South Stand the Sir Bobby Charlton stand. Congratulation Sir Bobby Charlton and thank you for your excellent service to the club, hope you continue to help the club achieve more success in the future.
