Some Interesting Clips from United’s 2-1 win against City ~ A Thread 🧵
1) Aaron Wan-Bissaka ~ Calm under Pressure
I was really impressed by AWB’s performance yesterday, here he gets out of a tight situation really well, using his quick feet, eventually he shoots at the end of this move and United win a corner.
2) United’s 1st goal
Again, United’s RB does incredibly well under pressure, once again another great, sharp forward pass from Casemiro in behind and United score. Excellent move.
3) Casemiro moving into the back line to make a 5
In many games this season I’ve seen Casemiro drop into the back line just before an opposition cross to give United numerical superiority in the box, happened again towards the end of this game.
In the example in the previous tweet, he wins both headers.
He’s also joined our back line temporarily against Southampton and Chelsea this season in order to give us more aerial dominance in the box:
Garnacho’s really clever here with his final cross, makes it look simple + Rashford gets that goal because of some really smart movement.
Movement inside the box is something he has massively improved this season, he’s scoring a wider variety of goals as well- very happy.
Thank you for reading this thread- this was just a short recap of a few things I noticed from the game. Please note I have an exciting THREAD on ALEJANDRO GARNACHO which I will be posting next week. Please do FOLLOW @ThreadmanChaza if you don’t want to miss out on that!
Just a nice little recap in this thread, nothing too analytical. Got a big analytical thread coming on Garnacho soon, so investing lots of time into that.
4) United’s 2nd goal
This comes shortly after Casemiro’s good defensive work, highlighting how important the Brazilian is to us. Bruno finds Garnacho- on the second time of asking he cuts the ball in a great area + Rashford scores.
