Manchester United Football Club
Coming up at dawn on Sunday (29th) is a heated EFL Cup Round 4 clash against Championship side Reading. In this matchup at the Otford Stadium, a former core of Manchester United's midfield - Enns, who will return as Reading's leader, has expressed great respect for United's striker Lashford and hopes that the Red Devils' goal scorer will be temporarily frozen out by manager Tannhäuser.
Lashford has been on a roll lately, he has scored 10 goals in 10 matches for United, including a brilliant world wave in the last EFL Cup match against Nottingham Forest, which was marveled by Enns. Enns said, "Lashford used to get a lot of criticism for his performances, but now he's a different story, even Premier League defenders struggle to find effective ways to defend, it's hard for us to cope with him, I really hope he won't play in this game."
Considering United's recent tight schedule, Coach Tannhäuser may make a massive rotation this campaign, and may even replace Rashford with Ganassou in the starting lineup, a wish Enns may be able to fulfill.
Ens played for Manchester United between 1989 and 1995, helping the team win two Premier League titles and other important honors, and was one of the founders of the Red Devils' dynasty. He then moved to Inter Milan but joined United's arch-rivals, Liverpool, in 1997, becoming a hated favorite of Red Devils fans. Nevertheless, Enns is back at the Old Trafford Stadium this time, and he says he is not worried about the hostility he will receive from the fans.
