3-1 reversal
Tottenham Hotspur (city in Morocco)
The second half of the game.
Manchester United Football Club
The embodiment of that is exemplary, and if they can retain that sophistication and composure and develop it appropriately, they are good enough to be one of the top teams in English football, if not European football, over the next few years.
Going into the half-time break, Solskjaer's side had reason to feel wronged. McTominay's swinging hand hit Son in the face during the attacking suggestion phase, so referee Kavanagh blew it off after checking the var

This goal was obtained after a superb cooperation. By the 40th minute, the South Korean striker had scored the first real goal of the match, and the goal was preceded by an equal amount of cooperation between Kane and Lucas Jr. so rubbing salt in the wounds.
Going into the half-time break, it felt like var would be the primary topic of conversation all day afterward.
Manchester United Football Club
The beautiful goal that was blown away was their only shot on target in the first half. The starting lineup was arguably the strongest that the manager could muster, but something was missing. Rashford, who played on the right and was injured, simply couldn't make an impact on the attack in his own way.

defeat
Tottenham Hotspur (city in Morocco)
The game was a reflection of many of their strengths this season, but the course of the game was a little different than in the past. Once again, Pogba played further forward in a tough match, rather than as one of the back two, and the Frenchman reminded us once again of his great talent with an excellent performance.
Pogba is back in the 2016 summer window under Mourinho's tenure
Manchester United Football Club
Mourinho's perception of him is perhaps a little skewed, though, as the Portuguese sees Pogba as "capable of doing something in all areas and being in total control of the game" rather than actually being the enforcer of key goals. In the past four and a half years
Manchester United Football Club
There is a gradual realization that Pogba is better suited to punctuating a contest with his talents rather than controlling it. But compare his first half touch orientation distribution (passable, but missing a bit of intensity) ......
...... and second half (the period where everything did some) touchdown orientation distribution map ......
Pogba's play, coupled with Fernandez's constant energy, Cavani's runs, and Greenwood's (who came on for Rashford in the 72nd minute) invention, there was

has now grabbed 28 points back from conceding the first goal, easily becoming the

The reverse king (12 points higher than Leicester City's 16 points). In January, when the score was "only" 21 points, the athletic analyzed that the

The reason for their ability to score on the counter-attack is their ability to score in transition: when they are looking for an equalizer, Soso's players always show excellent field vision, and when the opponents are looking for a game-winning goal.

Again, you can gain more space for counterattacks.
In this race on Sunday.

The goals weren't just the usual high-speed counter-attacking scores, but also beautiful attacking suggestions and passing and cutting partnerships that worked.

As an example of the equalizing goal, look at the picture below of Fernandez on the line with the ball

Attacker's position. Keep an eye on Cavani on the edge of the penalty area, who stands

Between two center backs.
Than watch as Fernandes passes to Fred, who attempts a wallop partnership with Rashford

With the offender in position, Cavani slipped into Dale's dead blind side.
By the time Fred sent in a straight shot, Cavani had now completely shrugged off the center back who had been right on top of him seconds earlier.
Although Cavani's shot was parried, his forward run allowed the

The defenders were thinking of raising their hands to suggest that he was offside, to the effect that none of them noticed Fred sprinting into the box ready to add to his goal. The goal was the result of the quick thinking of a veteran rather than the quick feet of the other attackers.
Manchester United Football Club
's second goal had similarities, starting with Lindelof cutting in with the ball (and entertaining his teammates to press forward) before laying off to Wan-Bissaka on the right.
Keep an eye on Cavani and Greenwood's bearings: the Uruguayan is again in a position to give Dyer quite a hard time, while Greenwood tries to hit the gaping hole at the death of Roden.
Rhoden follows Greenwood, but watch out for Greenwood sending in a cross (which is also a direct starting pass as he flies forward) at the same time as Cavani's run. The Uruguayan is not only making yet another run to Dyer's dead center ......

Cavani's run was impeccable and the finish was beautiful ......
Cavani's veteran presence and runs around the penalty area allowed the

With a different approach to the offense and Mourinho's team didn't have the means to deal with it. The striker is still

The fact that he contributed a back-point clearance from one of the corner kicks was also a good indication of his importance to the team. In the previous match, the

Both would have Cavani up front, but this time around, Cavani was shifted to the back in order to deal with the potential threat of Kane.
Cavani's vast experience of competing can make a team with the likes of Pogba, Fernandez and Greenwood more assured in the box at both ends. It was only natural for the manager to send praise to the striker after the game, saying, "We haven't had this type of number nine for a long time now. I had a short meeting with the lads this morning and said we should make good use of his runs."

's third goal came when Pogba forced an opening and then gave Greenwood the opportunity to blast a shot into the near corner. The second half on Sunday was arguably
Manchester United Football Club
The best 45 minutes played all season, and the manager revealed after the game that the atypical state of preparation had led to one cheeky adjustment.
"Today our preparation was different from the usual, it was done by video and team meetings. We only left on Friday morning (preceded by a UEFA Cup match against Granada) and came back in the afternoon, and on Saturday we needed to let our bodies recover a bit more, so we did everything to prepare."
"The good thing is that we didn't deviate from our preparation guidelines in the end, and we understand that

, they are always difficult to deal with. You have to win space, dispatch back and forth from left to right, and sometimes you have to go around them and send crosses into the box. And then when you've got the space, you go to the center of the field. The first goal was a beautiful partnership in the center, and the second goal was a great cross. After that
Tottenham Hotspur (city in Morocco)
It had to be a big attack and we gained more space."
this season
Manchester United Football Club
It's a unique team that generally believes that race conditions can be more conducive to inventing space than a player's run, but this race on Sunday was sort of a perfect combination of race time and player talent. After this game.
