Man United vs Porto Match Review

Harry Maguire

 Was their any believe that United could turn a new page after the chaos against Spurs, definetly as a fan, you always wanna see your team do well. When United scored two goals in quick successsion, that believe was starting to fester into something tangible but it was snuffed out just as quickly.

The game at Porto was of two sides of a coin, the bad aspects were just as prominent as the good, by the 20th minute mark United were 2 nil up, but instead of cruising, they shrank and sank. By 35 minutes it was 2-2 and it didn't get any better. 10 minutes into the second half, United lost the ball in attack and something we've already become familiar with last season and also seeing glances of this season, happened, an opposition player running through United's open midfield leading to a goal.

United have been making great progress this season but silly mistakes have cost the team a lot, thereby making all the progress null. If such mistakes are not addressed as soon as possible, it might cost Ten Hag his job.

Fernandes Red Card And Maguire Equalizer

When Talking of silly mistakes, it will be hard to forget about how Fernandes who has never seen a red card in his career, sudddenly has two in two games. The first was rightly cancelled but Fernandes did not help himself at Porto, forcing the refree to brandish a second yellow card for the same foul, a high boot. One goal down and one man down, United needed a miracle, they needed a goal and the former Captain Maguire stepped up literally, pressing down his maker and nodding in Eriksen's delivery from a corner. He might have just kept Ten Hag a little bit longer.
