Manchester United reached the fifth round of the FA Cup with a 4-2 win over middling Newport in League Two. But United were not able to score goals comfortably. After leading by two goals, we had to give back two goals. It is not a good sign for Manchester United that they struggled until the end of the match.
United’s instability was revealed by the fact that they had to play against a team that was very different in level and played with a variety of players. Newport allowed 17 shots in the entire game. As a big team, they easily allowed too many kicks.
When it became 2-2, the United team was blue.
If things fail, Ericton Hatch will be able to return to the Netherlands the following morning. United should be able to show the grandeur of a bigger team than just winning. The hosts, Newport, did not play against United, but you and I played against each other.
To praise Antonil, who has been missing a goal all season
I created one goal and one goal. Anthony is the most criticized player among the United attacking players due to his missed goals. He was able to explode in this game. It is also a way to regain lost confidence. It’s nothing to be proud of for scoring against such a small team, but for Anthony, it must have taken some of the pressure off.
Another thing to praise is the young man, Kobe Min Nool.
The first goal of his professional career as United have been getting a few appearances this season. He scored his first goal for United. His performance was even more mellow than usual as he played alongside Kasper. 100% ground duels won as well as submission success (87%). I was able to score by shooting on target once.
Mine Nool’s excellent performance.
Another positive point is the return of injured players. Martinez, who is reliable in defense, and Luke Shaw played as a substitute. With most of the key players back, it is encouraging for United’s upcoming matches. This is also the first match for United to score four goals this season. If you look at United’s wins, they are rarely perfect. Despite the weaknesses that need to be pointed out, we still have to move forward. With the current form, it is not possible to reach the FA Cup final like last year.
