It’s amazing what seven days in football can do. City fans have probably seen Peppy G tearing his hair out in a Manchester Derby at the Etihad for the last time and will probably be hoping that Angelino doesn’t play in too many more either.
What is it with City and left-backs? It’s a worry when the only United player that could probably get a regular game for Pep Guardiola’s lot is Ashley Young.
Isn’t it about time Solskjaer started getting some proper credit?
He’s out tacticed Pep, Jose Mourinho, Chelsea’s Frank Lampard and Jurgen Klopp this season. OK, he’s also got it very wrong a few times but there’s only so many different colours you can paint a bad bathroom before you find yourself in B&Q buying a whole new one.
United had a plan and it worked over 90 minutes. Sure, it was fairly basic – get it into the quick lads up top as quickly as possible, but it worked.
For much of the match, Daniel James and Marcus Rashford made it almost a credible argument that they have had better starts to their United careers than Cristiano Ronaldo – hey, I said almost credible.
