adminManchester United suddenly lost their key players.
Manchester United drew 2-2 with Sevilla in the first leg of the quarterfinals of the 2022-23 season European Football Association (UEFA) Europa League (UEL) held at Old Trafford in Manchester, England at 4 am (Korean time) on the 14th. The game between the two teams was split in the second leg.
Even in the 30th minute of the second half, it was expected that it would end with Manchester United’s victory. However, Tyrell Malacia’s own goal in the 39th minute of the second half, and Harry Maguire’s own goal in the second half added time, and the game ended in a draw. Man United missed all the victories and had to commit to the second leg.토토사이트
It’s an unfortunate draw, but I don’t think it’s a bad thing to end a game that was leading by 2 points. This is because Manchester United lost Lisandro Martinez and Rafael Varane to injuries in this game. Baran was replaced by Maguire at the start of the second half, and Martinez suddenly collapsed in pain at the end of the second half.
It is natural for United to be concerned. Martinez and Varane have been Manchester United’s first-choice centre-backs this season. Martinez’s active and tough defense and the sense of security from Baran’s covering ability complemented each other’s styles, and the two players were responsible for Manchester United’s defense. However, as both players were injured at the same time, Manchester United had no choice but to use Maguire and Victor Lindelof.
Earlier, after Marcus Rashford, the core of the attack, was injured, Manchester United suffered a series of bad news due to injuries to other key players. In addition, the players’ injuries are expected to be felt even more as Man United is currently challenging to win the UEL, as well as competing for fourth place in the English Premier League (EPL) with Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur.
Paul Scholes, who was broadcasting the match on Britain’s ‘BT Sports’, said: “I think losing Martinez and Baran to injuries is more serious than Rashford. I’m worried because Lindelof and Maguire haven’t played much this season. “He took the injuries of both players seriously.
Also, in addition to the departure of Martinez and Baran, Bruno Fernandez received a yellow card in the 41st minute and was unable to participate in the second leg due to accumulated warnings. Manchester United will need to think more deeply about the composition of the starting lineup for the upcoming second leg.
