We saw again that how much Manchester United are struggling when they are putting an effort to win a match. They hardly managed to defeat Villarreal in a very competitive match. Villarreal's scoring first made things even more difficult for Manchester United. Telles' goal was just fabulous. While I was thinking like that was it and it would end by 1-1, Ronaldo saved the team by a very critical goal in literally the last minute.
The match was tough and interesting, Villarreal tried thier best and also thier performance was good. I thought, the game will end draw, only for Ronaldo to score in the 90+5 and Manchester United got their first winning in the Champion League after losing their first match to Young Boys. This winning will probably high their morale about winning more matches. Although, they need to improve their performance, their next Champion League match is probably against Atalanta.
Although Manchester United won this match, I don't think their performance was good. Villarreal's players have performed even better. The match should have been a draw. But Manchester United has Ronaldo, the United team has won because of him. If Manchester United wants to win the title, they need to improve their gameplay. It is not possible to win the title with such poor gameplay and low attack.
Manchester United won not because they played well, Manchester United was just lucky. In addition to having Ronaldo as one of the best
finishers, Manchester United are also lucky to have David de Gea who plays extraordinary, many chances from Villarreal were saved.
Supposedly if David de Gea didn't play well, Manchester United would have conceded at least 2-3 goals. If Manchester United's game doesn't
improve, it seems difficult to win a Premier League or Champions League trophy. I agree with you that the ideal result should be a draw,
because the statistics of both teams are almost the same, even I agree Villarreal's game is a bit better.
