Here are two things we learned from Uniteds performance

 

Plenty of more work to be done with the defence

 

The Red Devils splashed the cash to pursue Aaron Wan-Bi saka and Harry Maguire to solidify the backline this summer and the duo Brandon Phillips Jersey  were handed their maiden appearances on Sunday. While Maguire came up with a flawle s performance on the day, there were concerns elsewhere with the Blues offered plenty of space during different stages of the game.

 

Luke Shaw, in particular, struggled with his distribution at the start which saw a flurry of attacks on the left side of Uniteds defence, but thankfully, Reggie Jackson Jersey  it did not prove costly. On the opposite end, Wan-Bi saka was impre sive with his tackling and interception, but there were a couple of moments where Blues left-back Emerson was allowed with plenty of space to get his efforts on goal. Still, United came up with a clean sheet with David de Gea looking a sured between the sticks, and that should provide confidence in the matches going forward.

 

Paul Pogba provides another mixed performance

 

Pogba had a rather mixed performance CJ Wilson Jersey  against the Blues, but he still managed to come out of the game with a which pleased the Old Trafford faithful. In the first half, the Frenchman happened to replicate something similar to the backend of the previous campaign, where he was guilty of regularly losing po se sion of the ball.

 

However, he managed to make up for the same in flying colours during the second period with two goalscoring contributions including a sublime defence-splitting pa s for Marcus Rashfords second goal of the game, which killed off the contest. Despite this, there remain doubts regarding the midfielders future with the club following his comments in the aftermath of the stunning  Cameron Maybin Jersey victory, : Im aware that things have been said. Only time will tell. Theres always that question mark.
