incredible war of words with Nemanja Matic on the eve of the game.And sure enough, just before the half hour he made a complete mess of trying to keep out Thiago Almada’s harmless looking

felt his team could still win this on.And chances were coming at both ends and Tolisso wriggled his way into the box but then fired his shot straight at Onana.At the other end, Garnacho, Zirkzee and Fernandes made a hash it when they had an overload on the break.And the Argentine forward came so close to a winner as he got on the end of Dorgu’s cross but was denied by Perri.They did get their goal as sub Kobbie Mainoo won an important ball and Fernandes crossed from the right.There was Zirkzee stealing in at the back post to give United a priceless lead.Read More on The SunThey could not hold on though as Onana failed to hold Tolisso’s shot and Cherki tapped in the rebound.One thing is for sure – he owes Amorim and United a big game next week.
