There was a startling whiff of marijuana in the first-half, as though a supporter was convinced it was the only high they would experience all evening. The second was more stimulating.
Four goals in 22 madcap minutes transformed an unwatchable League Cup tie into a watchable one. That ball would not yet drop at the feet of the substitute Alejandro Garnacho and the Manchester United supporters were already on their feet.
Garnacho had more standing ovations in his half-an-hour than an actor during awards season. To add to his goal in San Sebastian were two assists, the first a winning one for Bruno Fernandes.
