Sid Lowe was at Anoeta tonight, and his verdict is in. “Ultimately, a 1-1 draw is not a bad result for United to take from a night when they did not always impress, but it will have frustrated them and it offered little evidence of them having overcome their most pressing problems.” Enjoy Sid’s report, and thanks for reading this MBM.
Ruben Amorim speaks to TNT Sports. “Until the penalty we had control … the penalty changed a little bit the momentum … in the last 30 minutes we were really, really tired … we take this to Old Trafford … it is going to be a different game … the pressure will be on us in that stadium and we have to be ready … the key will be surviving physically until Sunday [when United host Arsenal in the Premier League] and be fresh for Thursday … it was clearly fatigue … until the penalty we had good possessions … our decisions in the last third is sometimes not the best decision but we had good moments in the game … we move onto the next game.”
