Welcome to the Sligo Branch of the Manchester United Supporters Club, we will update you with all the latest news from the Sligo Branch of Manchester United Supporters Club.

 

 

Premier League:

Oh dear, what a nightmare Sunday was.

United were hammered by Liverpool at home on Sunday on a scoreline of 0-5, and only for Liverpool took their foot off the pedal it would have been worse.

Fernandes should have put United ahead on 3 mins but he blasted his effort wide and a minute later Kieta didn't miss, slotting past De Gea. Jota made it 2-0 on 13mins after some horrendous defending from Maguire & Shaw. Salah made it 3-0 on 38mins before he scored again in first half stoppage time. 

Boos echoed around Old Trafford as United left the field at half time, and indeed the Sky cameras were delighted to show fans streaming out of the ground in disgust.

Pogba came on at half time for Greenwood but there was to be no comeback, Salah hammered the final nail in the coffin on 50mins when he scored after Pogba was robbed in midfield. Ronaldo did find the net only for VAR to chalk it off for offside and things got worse for Pogba on 61mins when VAR advised the Ref to view the pitch side monitor and he saw red for his challenge on Kieta.

Liverpool dominated the game and were always in total control, this was a very dark day for Ole & United, the gulf on a day like this is huge.

Naturally the attention turns to Ole, his tactics, his coaching, and if he will be replaced. 

 

Champions League: ah what a night we had on Wednesday 20 October as United came from 0-2 to beat Atalanta 3-2 in the Champions League in Old Trafford.

It was a game to two halves, United were overrun in midfield in the first half and Atalanta scored twice to to go in 2-0 up at the break. Despite the scoreline and the first half performance United did have chances, with Fred and Rashford having 2 apiece. Things improved after the break and when Fernandes cliped a brilliant pass around the corner to Rashford he ran onto it and superbly finished th the far post on 53mins. Maguire leveled on 75mins when he fired home Cavaini's flick on after Atalanta failed to clear a corner. Then on 81mins up stepped Ronaldo who headed United into the lead with a brilliant Ronaldo type header from an equally brilliant cross from Shaw.

Yes it was a poor first half, but this was a game United deserved to win. United now sit top of the group on 6 points ahead of matchday 4 and a trip to Atalanta in the beautuful city of Bergamo.
