DBasia.news – Manchester United can only play a goalless draw against Wolverhampton Wanderers in Week 25 of the Premier League. In that match, Bruno Fernandes made his debut.
Playing at Old Trafford on Sunday (02/02) early morning Western Indonesian Time, Man United was unable to change 15 attempted kicks and five kicks on target to bear fruit for the team made by Nuno Espirito Santo. Man United also dominates possession as much as 65 percent.
Man United’s difficulty in breaking into a defensive team and making a low block continues, although Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has reduced a recruit of 55 million euros from Sporting Lisbon, Bruno Fernandes.
For the 25-year-old, the match against Wolves was a ‘Portuguese Derby’ because Fernandes met with many of his compatriots there such as Bruno Jordao, Pedro Neto, Ruben Neves, Daniel Podence, Rui Patricio, Diogo Jota, Joao Moutinho, Ruben Vinagre, and Flavio Cristovao Even Santo is also from Portugal.
Man United’s failure to get full points was not due to Fernandes’s fault because he performed well on his debut match with 111 touches of the ball, attempted 88 passes – 70 in defense, six times won the ball, five kicks – three on target, two swipes, and tackles.
United failed to get full points due to the lack of ability to convert opportunities into goals and games that can break apart opponent’s defenses. Loan striker from Shanghai Greenland Shenhua, Odion Ighalo, also hasn’t played in this match.
The draw lowered United’s position to number six standings with 35 points and six points adrift of Chelsea in fourth. Right above United, there is Sheffield United with 36 points.
In the next match, Man United will visit Chelsea’s headquarters, Stamford Bridge, on the 26th week of the Premier League at 3:00 a.m. Western Indonesian Time will take place after the winter break.
