Events

Match Events

  • 6' What a moment for Neymar Jr.! That strike on 6 puts his side firmly in control.

  • 16' It looks like no one’s ball. Manchester United FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 21' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 23' Fred was booked on 23.
  • 28' Supporters expect more eagerness from Edinson Cavani, as he is very good at scoring at Old Trafford with 7 goals in the last 6 games.

  • 37' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 38' Leandro Paredes was booked on 38.
  • 43' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Manchester United FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.

  • 79' Another substitution for Manchester United FC to replace Edinson Cavani by Donny van de Beek on 79 minute.
  • 84' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Manchester United FC that had 415 games and scored 686 goals.

  • 90' The whistle greets Aaron Wan-Bissaka as he departs to be replaced by Odion Ighalo.
