It’s difficult to call Manchester United’s performance good, since they conceded two goals and were losing, and there was a beautiful comeback, but Manchester United conceded twice again. In any case, the match was beautiful, it’s a bit of a shame that Aston Villa could not hold on to the victory, and thus they will most likely allow Arsenal and Liverpool to get ahead, and I also assume, that City will try back to the race, after they have played the missed matches, so they also will be able to bypass Aston Villa.
I believe Mu's victory is partly due to Aston Villa's complacency when they were leading by two goals. It feels like every time Ten Hag is on the brink of being sacked, Mu secures significant victories, giving the coach another chance. It's quite coincidental
. After a poor performance in the previous match, Garnacho made up for it all in this one. I think he's a talented player, but lacking experience, his form is still quite irregular.
Anyway, it was a victory for MU as they had an emotional match for the FAN. I know that this victory cannot erase the current situation of the club when they have a lot of problems from the players, coaching staff,... But basically it also helped Erik ten Hag not to be fired early.
This could be considered a belated Christmas gift that Mu gave to their fans after the disappointing match against West Ham. This victory is like a rain shower after many days of drought, just when the fans were starting to regain faith, they continued to face defeat. Nevertheless, it's still a courageous and well-deserved win for Mu.
