That’s all from me. Thanks for reading and for your emails. Until next time. Bye!
The good news for United is that they have a very gentle run of fixtures in the lead up to Christmas: West Ham (home), Wolves (away), Bournemouth (home), Aston Villa (away). Let’s not get too carried away with the victory today, but those are four very winnable games for Amorim’s team (which would, of course, give them five wins in a row).
The bad news is that Cunha and Sesko remain injured and United are set to lose Bryan Mbeumo and Amad Diallo to Afcon (as well as Noussair Mazraou). Zirkzee is going to have to lead the line until Sesko/Cunha returns but who will play either side of him in the 3-4-3? Mount, yes. Who else?
It’s not as though Afon has come as a surprise. The decision to sell Garnacho – who admittedly was difficult to deal with, especially on that post-season tour of Asia – seems a very strange one.
