Maguire can also apply deft passes, such as the one against Bournemouth which found Fernandes. Pogba took up possession, fed Juan Mata and United soon created a good crossing chance. Again, Maguire’s impetus from the back was important.


Lindelof does not have the same range of passing and it is why United will look at signing a left-footed centre-half if Marcos Rojo departs this summer. “They need a player who can naturally play that ball from left to right,” says a source.

Maguire is more than adept at that left-sided position but does have to turn his body to get the angle for a cross-field pass.

Clean sheets are the primary objective, of course, and in that regard, United have improved with Maguire in the team. He has been involved 21 clean sheets in all competitions this season, in 48 appearances.

Solskjaer wanted to start his rebuild from the back and Maguire has provided a solid foundation.

Inability to keep the ball when pressed is a wake-up call for Manchester United


Usually it is Bruno Fernandes admonishing others over standards but on the hour against Southampton, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer felt compelled to urge improvement from the player who has dramatically invigorated Manchester United.

“Bruno! Hey! Come on!” Solskjaer shouted from his seat in the dugout when Fernandes overhit a pass out to Marcus Rashford, ending an attack that had looked promising. It seemed a cry in context of appreciating what Fernandes is capable of and also a concern that not enough care was being put into United’s play in general.

The control that United have enjoyed in matches since lockdown lifted was not there against Southampton, particularly in the second half when Solskjaer’s side dropped deeper in attempting to protect their 2-1 lead. Too often passes were misplaced and there was frustration from Mike Phelan late on when Fred hooked errantly into the centre of the pitch, rather than play the ball down the line to Rashford.

Phelan swivelled in angst and motioned his hand to show where Fred should have aimed, not only because it could have launched an attack but because it would have been a less dangerous place on the pitch for Southampton to gain possession.

Phelan spent the entirety of the contest stood on the edge of the technical area, a sure sign matters are not progressing to United plans, and though Ralph Hasenhuttl’s team needed until the 96th minute to equalise, they were well worth their point.

It was at St Mary’s in August that United recorded their highest number of lost possessions this season (183) and Southampton’s frenzied high press in this reverse fixture unsettled Solskjaer’s side again.

United lost possession 141 times, significantly higher than in recent games against Sheffield United (107), Aston Villa (109), Brighton (109) and Bournemouth (111) — four of the five lowest totals this campaign.

Pressing in the final third was of course the source of Stuart Armstrong’s goal, a two-pass move instigated by a smart and sharp hunt from Danny Ings when Paul Pogba turned on David de Gea’s pass out from the back. In the 18th minute, Pogba was again slow to the speed of Southampton’s forwards, with Che Adams seizing possession but fortunately for United playing a poor pass to Ings.

Southampton’s approach did enable United space further up the pitch for those occasions they did beat the press, and Martial’s goal — fed by fluid passes from Pogba then Fernandes — was a perfect case in point. Martial and Rashford, who were both at their best, each created two further big chances through fast breaks and there was an exquisite backheel pass by Fernandes to set up Pogba. But United never really seemed at ease.

 

[D A E M U S H I N]

Pogba for instance had a passing accuracy of 80 per cent and the only time he has recorded a lower number this season came against Chelsea on the opening day (76.19 per cent).

Rather than blame his players, Solskjaer credited Southampton. “It’s the team that you play against,” he said.

“They didn’t give us any respite. We knew before the game that we were not gonna get a lot of time on the ball, so it’s risk and reward. Of course we lost the ball on the first goal. We never got the rhythm really to play, because you have to earn the right. But when we did we scored some fantastic goals.”

 

[D A E M U S H I N]

The average positions from the match show Fernandes (No 18), Pogba (No 6) and Nemanja Matic (No 31) further apart than usual, and it was little wonder that Solskjaer implored his team to stay compact in the closing stages, squeezing his hands together to illustrate his point from the touchline.

 

[D A E M U S H I N]

Even though Fernandes and Pogba gave below-par performances, United’s possession did drop in their absence, from 55.3 per cent to 36.8 per cent once Fred replaced the Frenchman in the 63rd minute. It fell to 16.8 per cent for the final six minutes plus added time that Fernandes was in the stands.

 

[D A E M U S H I N]

Overall United had 47.6 per cent possession, the first time since football returned that they have held the ball less than their opponents — and against a team who do not necessarily want to dominate play. Hasenhuttl reminded afterwards that his style is for dynamic attacks rather than methodical build-ups.

A further point to note is that United’s passing accuracy fell from 84 per cent in the first half to 71.7 per cent in the second, while Southampton’s rose from 77.9 per cent to 83.9 per cent. Hasenhuttl’s side applied increasing pressure as the game wore on and ultimately it told.

Forget Twitter critics – Maguire has given Solskjaer’s rebuild solid foundations
The manner of the last-minute equaliser Manchester United conceded to Southampton on Monday evening inevitably prompted a certain amount of introspection at Carrington. If the timing felt excruciating, the fraying at a set piece caused acute frustration.

Credit should be given to James Ward-Prowse for a corner whipped with cruel intentions and also Jan Bednarek for an almighty leap at the near post but from a United perspective, it was a collective failure.

Nemanja Matic, Scott McTominay, Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial were all close to Bednarek but unable to intervene, Harry Maguire and Aaron Wan-Bissaka stayed on the ground marking Jack Stephens, and Victor Lindelof was the wrong side of scorer Michael Obafemi.

Wewe mwenyewe unavyojieleza unaonesha jinsi unavyopanick.-

Hizi ni rekodi ambazo ziko wazi tokea , Usajili wa dirisha dogo, na wewe ukiachana na ushabiki hizi takwimu zinafahamika na shabiki yoyote wa liver,man u na arsenal hata pia barca na real wote wanafahamu maana hata media zote duniani stori kubwa kwa sasa ni man u na kila mwisho wa weekend kama unafuatilia premier league analysis, kwenye review ya mechi zote za wiki huwa wanaorodhesha kama kuna rekodi yoyote imewekwa na mchezaji , kocha au club.

Alafu nilivyosema best front 3 ya 2019-2020 yenye mabao mengi uingereza ni ya Man u yenye mabao 60. Rashford 22, martial 22 na Greenwood 16 , na hata jana baada ya mechi ya Crystal -palace iliwekwa wazi. Sasa usitake kujifanya hujui wakati unajua kuwa Front 3 ya man u mwaka huu Uingereza ndio imekuwa best kwenye kutia nyavu ya magoli kuliko safu yoyote ya timu za epl.

Ila pia mimi nilichokuwa nalinganisha ni man u ya miaka 7 , ya sasa na ile ya Ferguson ili kuona namna jinsi man u ya sasa ilivyojiboresha. Alafu unasema nimekopi takwimu , kwani wewe unataka kuniambi-a kila anayeleta hapa takwimu si lazima akopi kwenye source zinazofanya hii kazi aidha ni ni premierleague.com, fa.com, uefa.com ,skysports na nyinginezo. Au wewe ulitaka nitoe wapi.

Alafu takwimu za Bruno zinafahamika, takwimu za man u pekee with 4 consecutive wins and 3 or more goals zinafahamika, takwimu makinda bora Epl, yaani Michael owen 18 goals ,Rooney 10 goals Alafu anayefata kwa sasa ni dogo Greenwood with 9 goals ziko wazi,,, Au wewe u-litaka ni-forge data.

Ila namalizia kwa kusema Acha kupanick bwana hiyo ndio Man u mpya itakayokuja. Alafu wewe kama ni shabiki wa arsenal pole maana Ukiachana na Aubamayang + pepe,,,-,, Kiukweli first eleven yeenu inatakiwa kusajiliwa upya.

Hii mkuu
