Manchester United were on their way to losing points.
Then Alejandro Garnacho stepped forward and closed out the match against Leeds.
– He received a lot of criticism, which annoyed me, says Fiplay expert Bojan Djordic.
His cross against Leeds on Wednesday was followed up by a heavy hat-trick for Manchester United, when they faced Leeds again, albeit away from home.
But it didn’t look particularly promising for a long time.
Manchester United were weak and had a lot of slack in the first half, but Leeds failed to capitalize.
“When you’re bad, you gotta be told”
in attack? Not much was going on there and during the break the January acquisition of Wout Weghorst was criticized.
– When you are bad, you must be told. Fiaplay expert Bojan Djordic says he seemed adrift for the first 45 years.
The problems were obvious.
Then he stepped forward, superstar Marcus Rashford, and scored 0-1. In the 80th minute, he met Luke Shaw’s cross with his forehead, and a VAR review later confirmed the goal. A great cheer erupted again in the far section.
Talent gave answers to speech
Just minutes later, Alejandro Garnacho finished the match. The Argentine got the ball deep and made it 0-2. A form of response after criticism earlier this week, with some claiming he was too selfish.
– He got a lot of criticism last time, which bothered me. You obviously fluctuate in your performance. Djordic says I am very happy for him.
Swede Anthony Elanga got a few minutes at the end, but didn’t have time to make much of an impression. Victor Nelson Lindelof remained on the bench for the entire match.
With this win, United rose to second place, five points behind Arsenal. But they played two more matches.
