A roller-coaster of a season has finally ended in heartbreak for the Manchester United faithful. United sought to end a 4-year trophy drought with a Europa League win against Villarreal but crashed out on penalties. From the lows of losing 6–1 to Tottenham Hotspur at home to the highs of crushing Roma in the Europa League semis, let’s take a look at Man United’s season.
In 1958, the Euskadi ta Askatasuna or the ETA was formed to liberate the Basque nation from the rest of Spain. This region, lying along the Bay of Biscay in northern Spain, was always part of the country but in many ways, far different.
For years they have tried to attack the Spanish Nationalist government to get liberated, but now, independence only seems like a distant dream to them. The Basque area and its 3 million people have been a close-knit society for centuries and value their traditions above everything else. This translates into Basque football as well...
Manchester United are flying high at the moment as they sit proudly in first place. This is the first time we are atop the Premier League table since the glory days back in 2013. One main reason for this is the presence of high-quality players in various positions who often step-up and make the difference when the rest of the team seem beaten.
Despite strengthening well in the transfer window, United have still not invested in a top-quality defensive midfielder yet. Fred and Scott McTominay have been very impressive so far, but both struggle to hold down the fort by themselves and need a second defensive-minded player to play alongside. This often breaks up the partnership of Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes. But based on numbers, how good have they been together?
