The team selections for wolves and, after that, Trips Bournemouth and Brentford, will be shaped by the physical form of their key men. No chance will be taken.
It could in turn have a negative impact on the results, which was not great to start. The current 14th place of United could get worse, with the loss of price support in the Premier League – approximately 3 million pounds sterling per place.
This simply increases the feeling of a roulette game. If United won the Europa League, they qualify for the Champions League and pocket tens of millions of pounds. If they don’t do it, they will have even less than what they thought to work.
On the positive side, what the monumental end of this competition provided is proof that United players are ready to fight. They have an abundance of character, inherited the club’s “Never Say Die” DNA and are ready to give everything for the cause.
But the negatives will not disappear.
They continue to give bad lenses, often in the space of a few minutes.
They do not tend their luck. If Alejandro Garnacho or Patrick Dorgu had done this in the second half when the score was 2-0, the chaotic end of nervous gaiety, of the head, would not have been necessary.
The faults are able to undermine any improvement, at any time. It is useless what United can trust him so as not to throw a winning position.
This simply increases the sense of risk.
