Disconnection with the strikers, which is why no scoring opportunities were created

Manchester United looked in many ways to find a good partnership that they had had in other sectors of the pitch, they had been very insistent in the collective play between the midfielders of the club, they had to find the right options to advance the options that the team had to take the result, a great option to the attack of the English club.

They knew that this match meant a lot to Erik ten Hag, they were looking for a better performance to achieve the right goals to find the expected level, they had to score one more goal after the great goal of the 18 year old Argentinean youth, Alejandro Garnacho, who was assisted by Cristiano Ronaldo in a great pass that he took advantage of to put the first goal in the first minutes of the match, they had everything to look for the mission to win by two goals.
