The article discusses Manchester United's recent match, highlighting the dedication of fans who traveled for the event. It reflects on Ed Woodward's vision for Manchester United as a commercially driven entity where on-field performance holds less value. Despite the team's lack of top individual talent, they exhibited a greater collective effort and desire during the match. However, this kind of performance may not be consistently replicable, especially against teams that can effectively defend against their style of play.
Even the VAR must have changed channels. Still, an encouraging display in front of a full house.
Performances like these are not really scalable. Lyon on Thursday will happily sit 10 men and one Nemanja Matic behind the ball and let United stew in their own neuroses.
