Last night, the match against Valencia at Old Trafford the fans saw the presence of legends like David Beckham, Ryan Giggs and Gary Neville. Though United did not lack in efforts like previous games but they surely lacked quality. The team that was losing games would surely have wanted a win but had to be contented with a goal less draw. United’s goal drought continues as of now.
Mourinho who had never lost to Valencia in 10 meetings was aware that Valencia is a chief goal threat when it comes to score.
First half was very pleasing in the eye with both teams fighting for possession. All the possibilities were unrealised from Valencia while United looked determined to win.
Rashford showed the desire to get into the position to strike a goal in the 14th minute.
An evenly contested half saw a goalless end with both the teams giving in their full potential. While Bailly was seen in plenty of action after his return so was Sanchez but in the defensive field.
Valencia did get a chance when loanee from Chelsea Batshuayi missed a sitter, hitting the ball over the post. A brutal attack was always on from the away side be it on the ball or United players courtesy to which they were rewarded m 6 bookings.
Rashford was probably the strongest in front with positive intent. Look that about him, just 20 years old kid with a tons of experience had almost scored a free-kick from a difficult angle after the ball went flying, hitting the crossbar. The team had left it for the last. As always we had Luke Shaw bombing up and down the wing.
A dull game of football ended with the teams shaking hands on points after a 0-0 draw. United may be on the second of table but have two consecutive header against top title contenders of this season, Juventus. In 20 days of time we can expect a rejuvenated United against the Old Lady.
