United is still not working shortly after visiting Madrid for the Champions League. Rangnick’s team again obtained the same result (1-1) for the third consecutive game between the Premier and FA Cup, putting in danger being among the top four. And, what is more newsworthy, Cristiano once again remained unmarked in his sixth consecutive game. An has not scored in this 2022.
10 days before the game against Atlético in the Champions League round of 16, Manchester United ratified one thing against ‘Soton’: that it is not right; that it is a team much inferior to what its name indicates; that fails a lot in attack -with Cristiano’s prolonged negative streak- and in defense, where he is a flan, above all, in the transitions that the rivals cause them.
In static attack is a very weak team, without creativity, despite the fact that Pogba has returned to stay. With Fred still with COVID, the McTominay-Pogba side seems predominant, but yesterday he had a hard time creating in positional attack. The 1-0 came in a quick move that culminated in Sancho (21′). It was shortly after Cristiano missed a chance without a goalkeeper, although with a defender under the post, unbecoming of his goalscoring voracity.
Right now CR7 is so unlucky that two goals in which he participated were annulled: the first, after assisting Pogba in minute 46; and one of his own, at 72′, also annulled due to out of fire.
Cristiano Ronaldo is going through his worst scoring streak at club level in the last 13 years. The 37-year-old striker has yet to see a goalkeeper so far in 2022, staying ‘dry’ in Premier League games against Wolverhampton, Brentford, West Ham, Burnley, ‘Soton’ and Middlesbrough in the FA Cup, where also missed a penalty. ‘Cris’ continues with the same figures: 14 total goals, six in the Champions League and eight in the Premier. But he hasn’t ‘wet’ since December 30. Too much.
The second half was a carbon copy of what happened in the recent draw against Burnley (1-1) and in the Cup elimination against Boro (1-1). The ‘Soton’ came up and United was not capable of creating or destroying. De Gea also ratified his award for ‘best player’ in the Premier in January, saving his team three or four times. Today, he is United’s best player…by far.
United lacks even luck. And it is that in minute 92, a header from Maguire was miraculously taken out by the international Forster. Nothing came out of this United.
With this draw, United, fifth, loses camber in the Champions League and it can be surpassed by Arsenal, who are not playing this weekend but have two games less. Bad outlook for Rangnick’s team, which doesn’t finish starting. And one good news for Atlético de Madrid, for even the Christian ‘ogre’ is not right. This Manchester is sustained today with De Gea.
