1-0 to 1-1, Manchester United again played the relegation team, impacting 30 points + European theater, and C Ronaldo's position was threatened by three generals
The Premier League has postponed a lot of games in recent times, resulting in the current pre-standings that don't say much. United have only played 17 games so they are only seventh in the table, which also gives United some comfort, at least two games have not been played, there are still unknowns. United have beaten Norwich 1-0 in the last two games, followed by a 1-1 draw with Newcastle United in the relegation zone, and United have not played well in these two games.
At 4:15 a.m. Beijing time on December 31, Manchester United will usher in the last game of 2021 against Burnley, which is crucial for Manchester United, the previous game of Newcastle United and this game of Burnley are both teams in the relegation zone. According to the normal plan, United should have scored 6 points, but the game against Newcastle was beaten back to its original shape, perhaps because there was no game for too long. Manchester United will hit 30 points in this game, and manchester United currently has 28 points to win to achieve the goal.
And there is also a chance to return to the fifth european zone with two rounds of less competition, and according to the current state of Manchester United, this season can guarantee that playing in the Europa League is a good result. Cristiano Ronaldo was in a slump in his last game, and his mentality has also changed, and many opportunities have not formed an effective attack, and there have been irrational fouls. The 36-year-old Ronaldo has to serve the old, and his physical function has declined, which will cause C Ronaldo to often be invisible in the game.
In the last game, Cavani came off the bench to play the savior, and Cavani, Greenwood and Rashford all threatened Ronaldo's main position in Manchester United. After Lonnick coached Manchester United, the use of C Ronaldo has also changed, often rotated, Burnley's match against Manchester United will inevitably put an iron barrel array, in this case C Ronaldo will also encounter strict defense, it is likely to repeat the same mistakes, C Ronaldo now needs a "wingman" change for the use of C Ronaldo is also very critical, intensive schedule Manchester United also need to adjust.
Fortunately, Varane is back in the backline, and his comeback can help United stabilize the defense, and Burnley's ability on the offensive end is limited, mostly long passes. However, their defense is good, only losing 21 so far, four less than Manchester United, using conventional offensive methods does not work, it needs the Miracle. Sancho was down again after a few games, Greenwood was replaced in the first half of the last game, Lonnick's staff is still very bold, he does not need to think about his position.
The winter window is approaching, Manchester United want to stabilize the record needs to be reinforced, in the front of the need for a forward player who can partner with C Ronaldo, even if C Ronaldo is unstable, but Manchester United still need to insist on him as the core to develop a tactical play. Cristiano Ronaldo's goal efficiency has gradually declined from the beginning of the season to the present, and he can basically maintain the efficiency of averaging one goal per game in the Premier League at the beginning of the season, but he has scored 7 goals in 14 appearances in the Premier League. Edmund Cavani on the Manchester United bench has been in good form recently, and it is not ruled out that Lonnick has sent Cavani and Cristiano Ronaldo to the front.
