Cold 🥶

Enzo Maresca on who he thinks will be Man United manager when they face Chelsea:

"I guess it would be Ruud [Van Nistelrooy], but he's a friend of mine. We played together. We spent years together in Malaga. We have still relations. I think it'll be Ruud."

"We have started to watch some PSV games. Unfortunately, we had already watched many Man United games. At the moment, I'm sad for Erik. But at the same time, I'm happy for Ruud."

"As I said, he's a friend of mine. Hopefully, I can see him on Sunday. I'm starting to watch PSV games."

On Gary Neville's 'billion pound bottle jobs' description of Chelsea:

"I didn’t hear it, but I still remember watching TV, they showed the number of finals Liverpool’s players had played & the number of finals Chelsea's players played."

"The difference was huge. That shows the difference between the two clubs at the moment. The reason I say in this moment we are not close [to Liverpool] is because you need to live moments, you need that experience to improve things."

On Enzo now Watching PSV games

Genius 🥶🥶

Rúben Amorim will remain as Sporting manager until the next international break. (Which means Ruud Von Nistelrooy will be in the dugout for ManU-Chelsea)

#INGAME

Our close down has been poor in the starting periods.

A real test for the so called "Team B" today

#INGAME

Veiga was unconscious of his environment for that goal. Being too casual without scanning the background

#INGAME

Today mental strength to out manoeuvre opponents pressing is 0. We cant string meaningful patterns of play.. our confidence seemingly in the gutters

The negativity around these players in terms of their decision making is absurd...

From Veiga Disasi KDH ... they don't seem to know what to do when pressed, making it hard for other players.

How did we buy Disasi and Badiashile for a combined 80m?

Bad selection = bad performance. nothing on the players so far all on Maresca. Change that team completely and we’re back in it

He trusted his B team , which he has in cup competitions , not his fault the players can't out-manouver Newcastle.
In fact , it's very positive for Maresca as he's learning and reading about his B team players

#INGAME

Let's see the mentality of some of these players to rise above adversity in the second half.

This is their first biggest test ever.

We have seen Reece, Palmer, Gusto and Neto played by the coach out of position and they still performed well.

This is not about the coach. This is about the player's application.

Look the way Felix is pressing timidly and aimelessly. Look how Disasi is defending just holding people without anticipating moves, Look how Nkunku is running

We should really know if they can be trusted for the Conference League final.

Maresca has improved teams performances in the second half.

This is their Audition

#OPPONENTWATCH

A demolition job is happening there.

Negative line up. All started with KDH as a touchline winger and their good press. Nkunku and Enzo not good enough. I feel for Nkunku because he’s not a CF

I won’t sit here and blame these two. They have been good as backups this season so far. The whole structure today from the start was wrong and 90% of the starters today struggled except Mudryk and Cucu. They are the easy scapegoats
