Manchester United: First prize for Mourinho?
Jose Mourinho makes direct shot at his first prize as manager of Manchester United. In theory, he can still win the Premier League, but that chance is nil. However, Manchester United is also still in the FA Cup tournament and it works its games in the Europa League. United thus joins battle on many fronts, and the longer the season lasts, the better united gets stuck in his skin.
The last game in the Premier League was played two weeks ago. United did not go beyond a corporate 2-0 against Watford, but more is not necessary in-house. Since then, United have played three games. In-house team of Mourinho won easily 3-0 against Saint-Etienne at Old Trafford, after The Red Devils visit had at Blackburn Rovers in the quarter finals of the FA Cup. Also won it, but eventually Jose Mourinho had to raids are star players Pogba and Ibrahimovic to win 1-2.
Last Wednesday was the return in the Europa League on the program. United traveled to France and won that match 0-1, despite the fact that half an hour with a man less had to play a red card Eric Bailly. Blemish on the win was the failure of Henrikh Mkhitaryan, making him a doubt for the final event. Perhaps it could be worse and he was taken out of the field only as a precaution, but there is at the time of writing not clear yet. Where there is no clarity yet about is a possible departure of Wayne Rooney to China. China’s transfer market closes February 28, and it is starting to resemble that Rooney will still opt for the big money.
Probable formation Manchester United
De Gea, Valencia, Bailly, Smalling, Blind, Fellaini, Herrera Mata, Pogba, Martial, Ibrahimovic
Southampton: Could still save the season
Southampton is in eleventh place in the Premier League this season and should probably settle for a spot in the gray middle. The Saints can not a good series drop in the Premier League and scrape piecemeal their points together. The season may of course be good at one blow by winning the League Cup. The advance may not on the list, but when you’re in the final you want him – of course – to win.
Two weeks ago, when Southampton played his last match, the convincingly won 0-4 at Sunderland. In that game was Manolo Gabbiadini, the striker who came over in the winter of Napoli who took the spotlight on themselves. He made the first two goals for Southampton in a match that was eventually won easily. Until the 0-1 Southampton had a hard time, but after that hit Southampton came loose and got the wings. Finally managed to score the Sunderland and even fight off chances. There is little geflatteerds to that 0-4 victory.
Manolo Gabbiadini is only the second player in the history of Southampton who manages to score in his first two Premier League games. Henri Camara was the last player who did it. Perhaps Southampton in Gabbiadini or the scorer found it so lacked at the beginning of the season. Incidentally, he has nothing to complain about supply because Southampton gives most assists of all teams in the Premier League: 667 in 25 games. Incidentally, Manchester United this regard in second place with 625 assists.
Probable lineup Southampton
Forster, Soares, Yoshida, Stephens, Bertrand, Romeu, Davis, Ward-Prowse, Tadic, Boufal, Gabbiadini
