Bonucci’s top ball lurking over United’s defence fell directly on the foot of Ronaldo that converted it into a score in an emphatic manner.
Cristiano’s Ronaldo magical goal counted for nothing when Mourinho revealed his trump cards. Mata and Rashford were brought onto the pitch to bring in more creativity and pace.
Mata did not disappoint his Manager when he converted a foul earned by Pogba into an equaliser.
Young fainted the free kick with his run to give Mata a shorter wall to smash the net. Mata, Mourinho’s another trick in the book aroused the chants from away stands.
