Watching these teams go head to head in the WSL a few weeks ago and they drew 2-2, it was an evenly contested game.
We spoke about how United being here last season could have helped them, losing to Chelsea and having to wach them lift the trophy. It inspires you on because you never want to feel that feeling again. United have shown real hunger and desire in the second half to take the game away.
Lucia Garcia has just been awarded the player of the match award and apparently she will receive a bottle of rose water for her endeavours.
Yeah, I’m not sure on that either.
This is a different Manchester United team to the one we have seen at times throughout the season.
Technically, tactically, the application, and also what has been missing this season, the believe, the tenacity, the fire, they have shown that on the biggest occasions here. The implications can only be positive going forwards.
This performance from Manchester United is the epitome of how I’d envisage how a Manchester United team has to perform. They have been resilient in defence and had that sprinkling of magic when it’s been needed.
This could be a huge tipping point for the future of Manchester United. For players who are out of contract or who were unsure whether to commit their long term future to the club. Not just the players either but the staff too.
A successful club isn’t just the best players on the pitch. It has got to have a heart, a core, a real togetherness. Today you see Manchester United have all of that, and I would want to play for a club like that.
You look round the pitch 1-11 Manchester United have that, the will to want to fight for their teammates and the badge, and once you have a taste if success it is very hard to think about walking away.
