He Manchester United had one of the best games ever Amorim He was on the bench, but he did not decide, he complicated his life and finally achieved a painful victory in stoppage time with a goal from Bruno Fernandes before a tough one Rangers (2-1). The victory all but sealed a spot in the round of 16 for the Red Devils without having to play in the playoffs.
The Portuguese coach first introduced important new features to the eleven. He sat down Onanawhose recent performances have left a lot to be desired and given opportunities to youngsters like Yoro, Collyer or Zirkzee. He also became a starter Grenachewhich started with great enthusiasm despite being mired in many rumors about a possible departure from the club in this winter market.
In the first half the Red Devils completely dominated the Rangers, but lacked the teeth in the final meters. This is not new, but it is normal for them throughout the course. Garnacho had a lot of misdirection, and when he went straight for the goal, Raskin crossed the path to avoid it. Diallo also had a try, colliding with a superb Butland. The Scots attacked very little, but when they did they had a very clear idea and always finished the plays. They tested Bayindir from different positions, but the Turk showed that he is ready to compete for the title and even take it away from André Onana.
The goal was disallowed for De Ligt
The match could have turned against Manchester United in the 23rd minute De Ligt He took advantage of a corner kick placed by Diallo to anticipate his defender and score the first of the game with a header. But the goal didn’t go up on the scoreboard as the referee blew his whistle for a minor earlier foul by Yoro.
Exactly from a corner as soon as the second half started, United’s first goal was created. Eriksen put it in his usual quality and Butland When he tries to clear it with his fist, he turns it and puts it in his own goal (53′).
Immediately afterwards, Garnacho looked to increase the gap, taking advantage of a back pass after dribbling past several Amad Diallo players, but his shot was cleared by Propper. The Scots fought on even though they had to face some physical setbacks.
United did not close out the game, as they had problems mainly with dead ball crosses where they always won the game against the Scots, and the game got a bit out of control and Rangers took advantage of United’s doubts. Dessers warned by lashing the ball to Bayindir, but the goal was blocked by the post. But he will have the option of revenge with a contested ball to Maguire where the English defender is picked out and the Nigerian attacker is referred to as bloodied ice (89′).
Bruno Fernandes, to the rescue
The tragedy played out in the theater of dreams, with fans horrified and watching as their team looked set to one day play at home. But Bruno Fernandes, their captain, showed up to give the winner almost as soon as direct passage to the second round was completed. Lisandro Martínez managed to advance down the left unopposed, putting a cross to the far post which the Portuguese finished first under Butland’s legs (90+1′).
