Watch one, one less. Some familiar faces that will not be seen next season.
In the last home game of this dismal season, Manchester United finally did not add to the magic of staying up late to watch the ball. The 3-0 win over Brentford, retaining a hint of Champions League hope, is secondary, and the most important thing is to play a little like a big team, so that fans can see the level and content of the team that should belong to this level.
This is only the first game since Manchester United entered 2022 to win 3+ goals, and the team's goal difference is only +5, you can imagine how bad the Red Devils have been this season.
When 37-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo, 34-year-old Juan Mata, 34-year-old Nemanja Matic and 31-year-old De Gea started together, United instead played their best performance so far this year.
But it's also like a kind of black humor, except for Ronaldo and De Gea, who are regular main players, Mata and Nemanja Matic have not played much time this season, especially Mata has been ignored for a long time (last night was the first Premier League start of the season).
Mata's contract expires this summer and he is about to leave the team on his own; Nemanja Matic has one more year on his contract, which he confirmed on social media half a month ago that he left the team this summer. If you think of cherishing at the time of farewell, it is too late.
Facing basically relegated Brentford, United quickly got into form, and in the 9th minute, Erlanga's cross from the right was met by B Fei to break the goal drought. Manchester United led 1-0.
C Ronaldo and Mata have a tacit understanding, the 32nd minute the two continue to cooperate, C Ronaldo heel pass, Mata inserted a slight off the upright.
In the 43rd minute, Mata counter-attacked with a cross from the left and C Ronaldo scored a goal. However, the VAR replay shows that C Ronaldo is slightly offside, which is a pity.
Seeing the two veterans hugging each other tightly, Mo Shao had the urge to cry.
In the 52nd minute of the second half, Nemanja Matic picked out a pass and B Fee pushed it from a small angle.
In the 60th minute, Cristiano Ronaldo entered the box on the right and was pushed down by a Brentford defender, and the referee took a penalty. The president blasted the goal and took a penalty to have self-confidence.
In fact, the scope of Ronaldo's activities in this game is very large, playing a forward free man role, and repeatedly withdrawing from the midfield receiving organization. His out-of-the-foot pass almost left the defender swinging, giving Dalot's straight-in shot to the goalpost (offside) and a long pass to Cavani to create a single knife.
There are also passing mistakes and then rush back to the defense, tackling the ball from the opponent's feet. What is the game attitude, this is the game attitude.
In the 72nd minute, Manchester United had a corner kick opportunity, and Varane drew a shot to score the first goal in the franchise! United led 3-0.
The overall situation has been decided, Matic and Mata have been replaced one after another, and Cavani has come on as a substitute. If nothing else, this will be their last game at Old Trafford.
Nemanja Matic played 71 minutes, 82 successful passes with 85 feet, a success rate of 96.5%, only five times lost the ball, and two tackles, 1 break, 1 clearance.
Mata played 75 minutes, 63 passes and 57 passes in place, a 90% success rate, 2 long passes, 1 dribbling, 1 shot on goal, he is still United's best midfielder for running without the ball.
In the mind of The Devil Shao, the two players who played best in this game are C Ronaldo and Mata, and my evaluation is that the two understand football on the same channel.
This is just the first time they have started at the same time at Manchester United, which is also the biggest question of Mo Shao. Before Brentford, Mata had only made four Premier League appearances this season, adding up to 59 minutes. Why is that? Roy Keane said live in his comments that United always said goodbye to their players in the wrong way.
Some things couldn't be changed, and Mata was still outside the stadium two hours after the game in the rain to sign autographs for fans. 8 years of Red Devils career, Red Devils No. 8 has no negative news, thanks, reluctance, regret, this is the real feeling of the devil's heart, for Matic, Cavani two veterans is the same. I wish them all the best for the future!
As for whether the president stays in the team, there is no exact news at present, and the magic boy personally judges that it is more likely to stay in the team.
But whether or not the CR is still here this summer, we all have to give the applause to Luo Laohan.
