Live Bar, January 20 , In the 17th round of the Premier League, Manchester United won 3-1 away to Brentford, ending a two-round winless. After the game, Manchester United manager Ronnick gave his opinion on all aspects of the game.
About the team's performance in the first and second halves
I wouldn't say we had a heated exchange at halftime, but obviously we had to change some things. In the first half, we didn't fare well in almost every aspect, passing carelessly, not being strong enough in the scramble for the ball in the 50/50, and we were losing the ball almost every second.
In the second half, we had more urgency, we put the front a lot forward when attacking, and when facing the opponent's counterattack, we had the right position. We scored goals and that was the biggest difference.
About Brentford
Judging by Brentford's style of play, they played aggressively and were very active and brave on the pitch. We knew that from the very beginning and of course we also looked at the other games they played at home and it's no coincidence that they beat Arsenal and dominated the scene. We were fully aware of that, but in the first half we were at a disadvantage in every way.
In the second half, we could fight back against them ourselves. We knew we could get their three-backs to pull back and then try to break through their defences on a one-on-one basis. In these areas of the pitch, we know we can do better than them.
Wonderful save on De Gea
Over the past few weeks, De Gea has done just that. In the first half, he made a very good save and I would say he is one of the best goalkeepers in the world at the moment.
About The Influence of The Scott McTominay
I must point out again that McTominay in the second half was the real leader. He came up with this kind of performance when we needed the Lord's heart the most. I feel like he had a positive impact on almost everyone in the center area of the stadium.
About three players from the academy who scored goals
I'm happy for our young players, today we had three young goalscorers. However, I must also say that Bruno Fernandez was well prepared and his assists were fantastic.
About Ilanga
Ilanga continued his performance at Villa Park, and even there, I think he did very well. Today, I would say that he did a great job in the second half, did a lot of work without the ball and scored the first goal that was very important for the team.
About C Ronaldo was replaced
At Villa Park 5 days ago, we were in exactly the same situation, taking a 2-0 lead with 15-20 minutes left in the game and I certainly didn't want to make the same mistake. I decided to switch to Maguire to change the formation to five and have Rashford play as another fast right winger, and I think that was the right decision.
