Because in recent weeks, Manchester United has been bogged down in its series of poor results, with four matches in a row without a victory and without scoring a single goal, which has not happened since 1992. All this, accompanied by a final place in his group in the Champions League.

We didn’t give them anything until the 72nd minute, when we shut down.”he first admitted at the microphone of the BBC.
