Compared to the previous round of away games against Everton, Lonnick made four personnel adjustments, and Manchester United discharged a 4141 offensive formation without defensive backs. De Gea defended the goal, Diaugu Dalo, Lindelev, Maguire and Telles formed a defensive line, Pogba sat at the back, Erlanga, Lingard, Bruno Fernandez and Sancho attacked together, and Ronaldo played as the center forward.

Lonnick explains: "We are missing two midfielders and in the last three games we have been trying to create chances and score goals. So I decided to have Bruno (Fernandez), Jesse (Jesse (Jesse Lingard) in midfield, plus Paul (Pogba), and we had enough creativity on the pitch to create scoring opportunities. Defensively, it's also important to maintain the right balance."

Sitting on the bench at Manchester United, 17-year-old Argentine youngster Alejandro Ganacgio, Ronnick said: "He has been training with the first team for the past two weeks and is one of the most promising players. He's only 17 years old, but as long as he's down-to-earth, he'll not only sit on the bench, but he'll also be able to play for the club."

Before the game, United fans carried out a boycott of the owner's Glazer family, postponing the entry time. After the opening of the game, Manchester United first hit the box, but Norwich quickly counterattacked, almost forming a single knife, fortunately De Gea struck in time to block Puki's shot. De Gea played for United for the 481st time, surpassing Roy Keane in 12th place in team history.

Norwich are too weak, scoring the fewest goals in the league and conceding the second most, so United completely dominate the rhythm of the field. In the 17th minute of the match, the anti-Glazer fans officially entered, and they had already unfortunately missed Ronaldo's goal. Half an hour after the game, United again created a great opportunity, C Ronaldo passed to the forward right-back Darrow, who inverted the triangle cross, Andringard rushed forward to push the shot and was saved by the goalkeeper.

Ronaldo then received Dalo's cross and hooked it back, but unfortunately the ball flew away. Norwich counter-attacked to form a three-two, but Riesmelo too chose to shoot from a distance, which was blocked by Lindlev.

Norwich then even nearly countered the scoreline, Puki's header sailed across, Raheica's low shot from the top of the arc of the penalty area in the bottom left corner of the goal, and De Gea saved the savior to ensure that he did not concede another goal. Lonnick saw that the situation was not good, and replaced Jesse Lingard with Nemanja Matic to balance the allocation of attack and defense in midfield. Norwich created better scoring opportunities and United somewhat lost confidence. Lonnick replaced Marcus Rashford and Marta, and Pogba and Telles were out of the line of fire.

The key moment was still C Ronaldo, Erlanga won a free kick, C Ronaldo took the penalty through the wall, Krul saved the ball, the football still bounced into the net from the mid-post, and Manchester United took a 3-2 lead again. This is the second time that C Ronaldo has worn a hat after returning to Manchester United after tottenham Hotspur, completing two consecutive "back-to-back" hat-tricks at home in the Premier League.

According to the data, Cristiano Ronaldo has worn the hat 50 times in his club career, the first player in the top five leagues of this century, including 44 times in his Real Madrid career, and 3 times each for Juve and Manchester United.

The last time Cristiano Ronaldo scored a direct free kick for the club, it dates back to Juventus' match against Turin on July 5, 2020. In the end, Manchester United scored 3 points with Ronaldo's goal 3-2 Luknowich.

United have a record of 12 wins and three losses in their last 15 Premier League games against Norwich, and have won five straight against the Canary after winning this game. Norwich boss Dean Smith, who led Aston Villa to a 1-0 win over Manchester United at Old Trafford this season, is the eighth manager to lead a different team away to Manchester United in the same season, after none of the seven had completed a double kill and Smith was unable to break through the spell.

The narrow victory over Norwich has also allowed the Red Devils to slightly boost the recent decline against the bottom team in the Premier League, and in the past four league vice-captains, Manchester United have only won 2 and lost 2, while before that, the bottom team had won 16, drew 4 and lost 1 in 21 games.

Manchester United's victory over Norwich is an ending that many people can guess, but no one imagines that the process of "abusing dishes" is so difficult. The away team scored only 20 goals in the 32 rounds before this match, so Ronnick adopted a risky formation and at one point the situation was very good. But the Red Devils' old problems did not change, relaxed after the lead, the defense was weak, and they were equalized again under the lead of two goals, and finally it was up to the stars to decide the outcome of the game.

After C Luo Tianshen completed the big three yuan, Lonnick replaced Matic and Mata in the last moment, controlled the scene better, and finally did not make any more mistakes.

As Brighton beat Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 in the first game of the round, Arsenal also lost 1-0 to Southampton. With this victory, United narrowed the gap behind the top four to three points. However, this does not mean that the Red Devils see the dawn of a race for four, as next week Lonnick is about to face a more difficult battle, visiting Anfield against Liverpool on Wednesday and travelling to the Emirates Stadium on Saturday to challenge Arsenal.

In addition, the Premier League has officially announced that if Chelsea advance to the FA Cup final on Sunday, the Blues' match against Manchester United will be advanced to 28 April. Once this happens, United will play Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea in a row for the next 12 days.

If these three games are not played well, the points recovered by beating bottom-down team Norwich will still become meaningless. And if you don't improve the level of performance, relying on such a performance against Norwich, facing Liverpool that abused Manchester City in the semi-final of the FA Cup, I am afraid that it will be more sinister.
