Star card system

With two consecutive wins in the Premier League, Manchester United has had a smooth start to September.

The following midweek, Manchester United ushered in the first leg of the Champions League group stage.

Away game against Young Boys of Bern.

Facing this Swiss team, Manchester United played very relaxedly.

In the end, they defeated their opponents 3-0 and got a good start in the Champions League.

The two players who scored the goals were Pogba and Martial.

Because of the continuous intensive fighting, Mourinho arranged for Xia Xing to take a rest today.

After all, the opponent is very weak, so there is no need for Xia Xing to resist forcefully.

Xia Xing is not present, and Pogba is responsible for the team's midfield organization.

Although he doesn't like Pogba that much, Mourinho also recognizes Pogba's strength.

As long as he plays well and competes seriously, he will still be one of the top midfielders in the world.

Two shots and one pass in this game showed the strength of a superstar.

On the forward line, Martial also performed well today.

Although he doesn't like Martial that much, Mourinho also recognizes Martial's strength.

As long as he has a correct attitude and plays seriously, he will still be a very talented striker.

In this game, he passed and shot every time, becoming the most threatening star on the front line.

Especially when Lukaku has been unable to find his form, Martial's performance is very agile.

After the game, Mourinho praised the performance of the two French young people.

Even willing to give them more opportunities.

In the weekend's league, Manchester United still played with all its main players.

But this time they ran into trouble.

Facing the ferocious fighting of the Wolves, Manchester United showed the fatigue in the lineup rotation.

Many players who have just finished playing in the Champions League have seriously declined in physical fitness, and many players have been in poor condition since the FIFA national team match day.

The two sides have always been 50-50, and Manchester United has no advantage.

Especially in the midfield position, the Wolves played very actively today.

Their Portuguese midfield duo of Moutinho and Ruben Neves work together very well.

Moutinho is 32 years old and has rich experience. He transferred from Monaco this summer and became a key midfielder as soon as he came to the team.

Ruben Neves was transferred from Porto last season. He was only 20 years old when he joined the team, and he was young and energetic.

Moutinho was Ruben Neves's big brother when he played for Porto, so the combination of the two is very compatible.

There were many wonderful passes and shots in this game, which put great pressure on Manchester United's defense.

In the 38th minute of the game, it was Ruben Neves' long shot that penetrated the goal guarded by De Gea.

1 is better than 0!

Wolves score first!

Manchester United was passive again.

However, Manchester United quickly equalized the score in the second half. Xia Xing from the wing made a quick cross and accurately found Lukaku.

The Belgian forward headed the ball into the net.

1 is better than 1!

Manchester United finally equalized the score!

Lukaku finally broke his goal drought.

However, they failed to score again until the end of the game.

In the end, Manchester United received another draw and failed to maintain their league winning streak.

In the third round of the English League Cup the next midweek, Manchester United unexpectedly lost.

Facing the underdog Derby County, the two sides drew 2-2 in regular time.

The competition between both sides was fierce, but in the 67th minute of the game, Manchester United completely reached a deadlock.

Their starting goalkeeper Romero was sent off for handball outside the penalty area. Manchester United was 10 against 11. In the end, if it weren't for Fellaini's final goal, they wouldn't even have a chance to enter the penalty shootout.

Both sides took penalty shots for 8 consecutive rounds, all of which were successful.

In the 9th round, Phil Jones missed a penalty kick and Manchester United was unfortunately eliminated.

Their hopes of a third consecutive League Cup title were dashed.

In the next weekend's league match, Manchester United once again encountered obstacles.

Their opponent in the seventh round of the league is West Ham. They are gaining momentum this season and are currently ranked among the top six.

Just in the fifth minute, their Brazilian midfielder Felipe Anderson hit a fatal blow!

A powerful shot blasted away the goal guarded by De Gea!

1 is better than 0!

West Ham scored first!

The 25-year-old Felipe Anderson was transferred from Lazio this summer. The transfer fee reached 3800 million euros, which is quite powerful.

In the midfield position, he has excellent defensive ability and good speed and dribbling. He is an important pillar of West Ham's excellent performance this season.

In the 43rd minute of the game, another long-range shot from Felipe Anderson hit Lindelof's leg and bounced into the net.

De Gea, whose center of gravity has shifted, is helpless.

2-0, Manchester United conceded another goal.

With two goals in hand, West Ham played much more steadily in the second half.

In the 71st minute of the game, Luke Shaw made a diagonal pass from the left wing and found Rashford.

Rashford dribbled the ball into the penalty area and fired a low shot into the net.

2-1, Manchester United got a goal back.

still have a chance!

But just three minutes later, West Ham forward Anautovic scored again with a blast!

3 is better than 1!

West Ham expands its lead again!

This time, Manchester United never scored again.

In the end, they unfortunately lost the game with a score of 1 to 3.

Another defeat was swallowed.

Throughout September, Manchester United played a total of six games.

The first three games were won in a row, and the last three games were one draw and two losses.

Status fluctuates.

Manchester United have been in a lot of trouble this season.

But for Mourinho, he doesn't have much time to adjust.

Because the game in October will be more troublesome.

There is still the test of the national team match day in the middle of the year, and we still have to face double matches a week.

The opponents in both Champions League games were very strong.

On October 10, Manchester United faced the challenge of Valencia at home.

In this game, Manchester United's opponents were very offensive, and they had a forward combination full of aura.

The 22-year-old Portuguese star Gonzalo Guedes transferred from Paris this summer, costing Valencia a high price of 4000 million euros.

The 27-year-old Spanish forward Rodrigo is also a striker who once shined in the Portuguese Super League. He transferred from Benfica for 3000 million euros two seasons ago and has been the team's thigh in the past two seasons.

The 25-year-old Belgian forward Batshuayi is on loan from Chelsea this season. He has strong ball control skills.

Such a trident is a very strong presence in La Liga.

Kondogbia, the defensive tough guy who transferred from Inter Milan this summer, cost Valencia 2200 million euros. He is the team's defensive backbone.

There are also two former Real Madrid players on the central axis, Parejo and Garay. The two work together well and are the pillars of the team's midfield and backcourt.

With such a strong team of players, Valencia ranked fourth in the league last season and continues to rank third in the league so far this season, even temporarily suppressing Real Madrid, which had a poor start.

Therefore, even though Manchester United and Juventus are in hot form and are leaders in their respective leagues, professionals do not believe that this group has determined the qualifying spots in advance.

Valencia definitely has the strength to compete for a place in the Champions League group stage! (End of chapter)
