Luke Shaw reveals how they stopped Erling Haaland in a derby comeback

Manchester United won against their city neighbors by two goals to one courtesy of Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford.

United looked intended to lose but a turnaround in the late stages of the game saw them assert the swaggering rights in Manchester.

A hallmark of United’s game is how carefully sound they were and in this case that translated into how fruitful the team was in abrogating Erling Haaland.

Haaland has been electric for City since he signed from Borussia Dortmund, notching 27 goals for Pep Guardiola’s side in all contention this summer.

However, as opposed to the Red Devils, the Norwegian kept quiet, and was no ultimatum.

Haaland was largely noticeable and failed to roster a single shot on target as Raphael Varane and Luke Shaw kept him at bay.

Shaw however played down his and Varane’s effect in marking Haaland out of the sport.

The Englishman rather credited the team for the feat. Speaking during his post-match interview, Shaw said, “We’re very happy, I think we justified to win.”

“in the first half, we had many 

odds and on another day, we take them. “

exceptionally proud of the team and everyone out on the field today, they gave everything.”

“especially glad of the group and everybody out on the meadow this day, they gave all. It’s not just about me and Raphael [Varane], it’s about the whole squad. We safeguard so, so well.”

Shaw added that the most significant thing mostly when coming up against one of the best teams in the nation is three points.

The defender thanked supporters for 

stimulating them on and bringing the noise after Fernandes netted his goal.

Ziyech has improved, but rebuild means he has to go

Hakim Ziyech to permit Chelsea this window, and for me, it should not even be a dispute. We have just signed three strikers in the shape of Mykhailo Mudryk, Joao Felix, and Noni Madueke. Our squad is now bloated, exceptionally in the attack. We cannot roster them all currently in our Champions League squad, a player or two needs to be immolated (not physically). We are also probably signing 1/2 more players this window. Until the World Cup, I think lovely much every Chelsea fan would have told yes to selling Ziyech, including the player himself (still believe he wants to leave now). But now, I’ve seen calm a few interrogating it off the back of a good World Cup and a few satisfactory games for Chelsea. He’s been great in spells, granted, but the inconsistencies are still clear to me. We cannot sell Christian Pulisic this month because he has a long-term scratch and no club will buy him. So it has to be Ziyech I’m nervous. As I’ve said, I totally  treasure what he does bring, and wh...

Erik ten Hag’s tactical genius brings Man United victory against Leeds United

Erik ten Hag masterminded an improbable Manchester United win at Elland Road this afternoon later a wound-ravaged side looked to be heading for a stalemate against a brave Yorkshire team buoyed by the combative crowd. United was without Casemiro, Christian Eriksen, Antony, Scott McTominay, Donny van de Beek, and Anthony Martial for the risky stumble over the Pennines. By the hour mark, Leeds looked the most probable to take the three points. With Jadon Sancho looking to be the star most probable to turn it around for United and center-onward Wout Weghorst looking lost, Ten Hag’s double change in the 61st minute changed the course of the sport. Sancho was replaced by juvenile Alejandro Garnacho, who has been disheartening in the last couple of games, while Tyrell Malacia was changed by Lisandro Martinez, pushing Luke Shaw back out to left back. To many fans’ astonishment, Weghorst stayed on. Garnacho replaced Marcus Rashford on the left pinion, who moved up front. Bruno Fernandes moved ...

Chelsea’s change of shape in-game is key

Chelsea beat Bournemouth 2-0 on Tuesday evening in their first game back later the World Cup interrupt. It was a much-needed win and a clean sheet after stumbling form and poor performances before the break. There was one key element for me that I noticed that really helped Chelsea get the edge over Bournemouth and make it a pretty straightforward game for them in the end, and that was the in-game exchange of shape. We are starting to see elements come into our play that has clearly been implemented by Graham Potter and his team, and the shape is one of them. I also incorporated about four moves in the first half that Chelsea made that were quick one-touch passing that set us up for a savage within seconds. We have rarely seen this at Chelsea in recent seasons, with our possession play often being too slow and too labored. It was  invigorating to see some quick fluctuation and players also taking on those hard and riskier passes; that is what we need to be seeing much more, worryin...
