At 1:30 a.m. Beijing time on Sunday, the 29th round of the Premier League, Manchester United hosted Tottenham Hotspur, which was a giant showdown, and for the Red Devils, it was nothing more than a life-and-death battle for the fourth place.
Let's take a look at the situation in the standings. After the loss of the manchester city derby in the last round, Manchester United has been overtaken by Arsenal, falling out of the top four, and 1 point behind the latter in 3 games, 9 points behind the third place Chelsea in 1 game, and the situation of fighting for the fourth place is already very critical.
What's more, Manchester United are only 2 points ahead of sixth place West Ham United, and 2 points ahead of seventh place Tottenham Hotspur in multiple games, so this game must not be lost, and if you lose again, you may be surpassed by the White Lily at the same time, you may also be surpassed by the Hammers (home against Vera) and fall to seventh!
So, for Manchester United, who have no chance to compete for the title and can only compete for four, this is indeed a life-and-death battle. The good news is that Ronaldo and Cavani have returned and can play. The Uruguayan centre-forward may come off the bench, but the president will almost certainly be the starter.
In the first leg of the season, C Ronaldo passed and led United to a 3-0 victory, and the manager at the time was still Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, opposite Nuno Santo. However, now, it has been replaced by Lonnick and Conte, and Ronaldo's state is also very bad, with 1 goal in 10 games since the New Year.
However, Sancho is getting better, and the Manchester City derby scored manchester United's only goal, and has contributed 3 goals and 2 assists in 5022, and this game is expected to start as a winger. The front is definitely a B fee, and the other side is competed by Erlanga and Rashford. Of course, the possibility of Lonnick changing sides is not ruled out, after all, Conte plays in a three-back formation.
Tottenham Hotspur swept Everton 5-0 in the last round, Kane scored twice, Son Heung-min also scored a goal, and Kurusevski assisted twice. Sun Kai's combination is already the partner with the most assists and goals in the history of the Premier League, and the recent state is excellent, and the PK with C Ronaldo and Sancho is likely to have the upper hand? We'll see!
