Wetin dey happen, my people? Manchester United don finally pick up form like sharp knife for inside soup! Last week for Old Trafford, dem collect three points wey sweet pass jollof rice as dem knack Tottenham Hotspur 1-0. Na Bryan Mbeumo shine that day with one correct goal that make everybody dey jump for joy.
Michael Carrick wey don dey act as interim coach, na him dey lead this waka with serious ginger! This na him third win straight, and e be like say he don turn the team back to glory days. Everybody wey get eye for football sabe say United don show different vibe under am; dem dey play like say dem don chop fresh pepper soup.
As dem dey play Fulham, one player wey dey shine like diamond na Amad Diallo. This guy don turn left back Antonee Robinson to old wahala, as e dribble di guy pass like say dem dey dance for party. E complete three dribbles, carry ball reach 225 metres; na wah! If you see am, you go sef feel say make dem rename Robinson ‘dribble mat’! Amad dey show say na him wahala dey create the new Manchester United vibes wey everybody dey admire.
Under Carrick, hin strategy dey different from wey the last coach dey do, e no dey form too much book smart for field. Dis one na simple, direct play and e dey work like magic. No be say Carrick no get plan; hin just sabi wetin e dey do, and e don change di game for United! Dem don score eight goals for di last three matches alone, which mean say dem dey rise up again, like dat Phoenix wey dey rise from ashes.
Wayne Rooney, legend wey sabi ball, don talk say di most important change na di four players wey dey form back line: Harry Maguire, Lisandro MartÃnez, Kobbie Mainoo and Casemiro. Dis four wey dey form di ‘box’ make everybody dey play better; dem dey run like say dem dey chase after okada driver wey no gree stop for dem. Rooney talk say dem look more together, more coordinated dan wetin una fit ever shee na di last coach days.
But e no be all smooth for di club, oh. Casemiro wey dey play like ‘grandmaster’, dey go dey finish hin contract for summer and hin go collect tearful goodbye from fans, unless dem quickly sign contract wey go extend hin stay. Maguire self dey face wetin people dey call ‘contract wahala’ because e no still gree sign new deal. The guy don dey follow di yarns wey dey rumour, say whether him go move from di club.
United dey look for new central midfielder, with names like Elliot Anderson, Carlos Baleba and Adam Wharton dey fly around. Na so e dey, if Maguire decide to pack hin bag, dem go need find another centre back sharp sharp, but with many defenders for di squad, like Matthijs de Ligt and Leny Yoro, Wahala dey de come low abeg!
Omo, the way United dey play now, you go just wan dey watch dem match like you dey follow ‘Big Brother’ show. If dem fit maintain this tempo, na serious season dem dey prepare for; we go dey see dem chop more virgins for di pitch as dem dey aim for di top. Na so we go continue dey enjoy di football life, abeg. Cheers!
