young boys 0 – united 3 : talking points as united trash european minnows
Manchester United unsurprisingly defeated their Champions League opponents Young Boys last night by a 3-goal margin.
The Red Devils took the lead in the 35th minute of the encounter as Paul Pogba curled home a brilliant shot to the bottom corner.
The Frenchman was on the ground to double the visitor’s lead just before half-time when he scored from the spot after Young Boys defender was adjudged to half handled Luke Shaw’s cross in the 18-yard box.
Martial scored the last goal of the night after a brilliant assist from his compatriot Paul Pogba.
Though the result isn’t a surprise, here are some talking points from the game
Pogba was awesome once again
The Frenchman has come under huge scrutiny from the Red Devils faithful for his uninspiring performances in recent weeks.
However, the 25-year-old proved his qualities against Young Boys last night as he was behind every brilliant move made by the team during the game.
Two goals and an assist were a deserved reward for his perfect showing at the middle of the park last night.
Diogo Dalot and Luke Shaw are the future of United’s defence
Both players started together for the first time, yet they showed great understanding throughout the encounter.
Shaw was awesome at the left-back position as he dashed forward to join the attack and also made a quick run to prevent their opponents from attacking through his side.
Just as the 24-year-old England international, United youngster, who is making his debut for the team, Diogo Dalot was wonderful throughout the game and he shows his readiness to make the right-back position his own in no time.
