What could have been Manchester United’s first draw as the new English premier League season commences was avoided courtesy of a late goal by new signing Joshua Zirkzee.
The thirteen time Champions who began the match before their fanatical fans at Old Trafford in full spirit failed to get the back of the net due to poor finishing by their false nine captain Bruno Fernendez who got two clear chances in the first half but failed to make their good use
At resumption of play in the second half all the two sides made some tactical changes so as to widen their chances of winning the encounter
Manchester United have Harry maguire and Lisandro Martinez to praise for thwarting three clear chances created by the visitors
On the other hand the visitors should extol their goalkeeper Leno over his marvelous saves in the course of the game as they could have gone back home with plenty of goals in their kitty
Later on just barely three minutes to the end of the match the Bologna of Italy acquisition Joshua Zirkzee jabbed in the only goal of the tie via a crossing received from Argentine import Garnacho to secure all the maximum points for the home side who last year at the same venue lost to the visitors by two goals to one courtesy of Nigerian imports Calvin Baseey and his compatriot Alex Iwobi
Manchester United who are yet to round off their acquisitions in the just began seasonwill next week test Brighton for size in continuation of the annual soccer event before locking horns with arch rivals Liverpool in week three of the competition adjudged to be the best in terms of financial reward, viewers and competiveness in the whole of Europe if not the world
