At dawn on Sunday, a Premier League highlights match ended in a thrilling 2-1 away victory for Manchester United, marking the first time this season that the club has achieved two consecutive wins. Although United's defense was still in tatters, clinical stalwart Harry Magouni was crowned Man of the Match after the game with a brilliantly contested goal, with tears in his eyes. With a fantastic winning percentage in over 90% of his appearances for the 'Red Devils' over the past year, United should really consider whether or not they have to sell this 'blessing'.
Before the game, United learned of the sad news of the untimely death of legendary Hall of Famer Bobby Charlton, so there was a special ceremony of mourning at the game. McTominney, who had scored twice in the previous game, broke through to score again in the opening 28 minutes, but then committed a handball foul in the penalty area six minutes later, allowing Siffield United's Olivar McBeney to drill home the equalizer. United then came close on a number of occasions, but it was not until Darroch blasted in a worldie from 25 yards out in the 77th minute that the win was sealed at 2-1.
Despite United's lackluster performance in the game, Syfy United, who have only gained one point this season, produced 12 shots on goal. Luckily, United were saved by the excellent play of Harry Magouni, who had a game-high 104 touches, 100% interception success rate, 76 successful passes and 5 successful scrambles. After the match, he was awarded the MOTM (Man of the Match) award with tears in his eyes, as if it was a sweet victory after his ordeal.
Statistics show that in the past 12 months, Harry Magouni has started 16 matches for Manchester United's regulars, and the team has achieved an impressive record of 15 wins and 1 loss, with a win rate of nearly 94%. United leader Tannhäuser was highly complimentary after the game, "Magouni showed the performance we were looking for, he was very proactive, able to control the opponent, read the game, control the ball aggressively, pass the ball accurately and I'm very happy for him."
