On the evening of 17 April, the FA Cup semi-finals ended Game 2, with the Blues Chelsea taking Crystal Palace 2-0 to reach the final of the tournament for the third consecutive season. However, the biggest disappointment with this result is not their opponents Crystal Palace, but the Red Devils Manchester United.
In the Premier League last weekend, Manchester United beat Norwich 3-2 at home, and with tottenham Andrío and the Gunners losing both, United saw the dawn of a surge into the top four. However, their next opponent will be the reds' liverpool, which are determined to compete for the title, and a direct dialogue with the Gunners, which are already difficult. Chelsea beat Crystal Palace to reach the FA Cup final, which also led to their original home match with Chelsea on May 5 being advanced to the early morning of 4 Yurong on the 29th. In other words, for the remainder of April, United will play Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea for nine consecutive days, surrounded by strong opponents.
Of the three opponents, Manchester United's biggest headache is undoubtedly Liverpool, which will face this midweek. In the first leg of the match between the two teams, Manchester United suffered a 5-0 bloodbath at home to Liverpool, a match that also pushed their former manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to the crater. And now Liverpool experienced the winter window reinforcements, the strength is stronger than then, they just defeated Manchester City 3-2 in the FA Cup semi-finals to reach the final, a sword to the four champions of the posture, now Manchester United meet them, can only be less lose and win, 3 points do not think, 1 point also have to count on miracles.
Arsenal are relatively weakest of the 3 opponents, and they are also opponents that United must win, because both teams are fighting for the top four, this direct dialogue is a real 6-point battle, if Manchester United beats the Gunners, the rush to the fourth will become a bright future, once lost, there is really no hope.
As for Chelsea, they are not an easy opponent to deal with. After experiencing a Champions League exit and a previous slump in the league, the Blues have performed very well in the last few games, with a 6-0 win over Southampton in the Premier League, a 3-2 victory over Real Madrid in the Champions League, and a 2-0 win over Crystal Palace in the FA Cup semi-finals. Manchester United met them, it was also a hard battle, 1 point is OK, it is not easy to win.
It is estimated that when the schedule comes out, Manchester United fans will miss having left interim manager Carrick. After Solskjaer's dismissal, the United star briefly served as the team's interim coach and led United to three games during that time, beating Villarreal 2-0 away from home in the Champions League group stage, drawing 1-1 away to formidable Chelsea and match 3-2 at home to Arsenal. In the away match against Chelsea, Carrick showed courage and put Ronaldo on the bench, but instead put Rashford and Sancho as double forwards, and the two scored together, almost bringing back three points at Stamford Bridge.
Unfortunately, after three games, Carrick chose to follow in the footsteps of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and left Manchester United, becoming the first manager in the history of the Red Devils to go unbeaten. Today, Manchester United have once again faced Arsenal and Chelsea in a row, but the courageous young manager has long since left. They can only rely on the old C Luo to realize the dream of getting points.
