Erik ten Hag took advantage of the match against Sheriff at Old Trafford to take a risk with this player, he wanted to innovate and surprise in the penultimate game of the Europa League, he wanted to try an interesting attack, he combined an 18 year old winger with the 37 year old Portuguese star, who was coming back to the team after the controversy of last week's match against Tottenham.
The game leaned towards the home side in many plays, they were superior from start to finish, they found the spaces that the midfield created, they took advantage of many spaces that were generated in the team, they were the team that arranged the game in their favour, the team's strategy was well studied, despite that they missed clear options, until minutes before half time Dalot arrived to score the first goal.
They already benched Sancho, now they're calling for this player to be benched
This is his competition, he recognises that he is a great left-back like him
In the second half of the game there were more definite chances, the goal scored to Sheriff in the first half ended their hopes to keep the result, the motivation was lost in the team of Moldova, who conceded the second goal, scored by the English striker who came from the bench, Marcus Rashford, who found the goal again after almost six matches.
While the third goal came after the insistence that Cristiano Ronaldo had against the rivals, he was very active trying to open the scoreboard in favour of the Red Devils, he scored his goal, it was the definitive 3-0 after finishing and the ball was rejected a few meters from the goal, he was only in charge of counter finishing and ending the match, the player would celebrate with his gesture of relief, he needed that goal to feel better.
The 18 year old Argentinian had a very good game, he even posted on his official accounts that he didn't believe what had happened, the player was on the pitch in great form alongside the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo. This player sent signals that he should stay at the club, the board will move to offer him a contract extension, maybe he will find more prominence after the last game.
