CF - Rashford
Amorim looking at his watch, asking for the move to be sped up.
If Facundo Pellistri plays even 60 minutes of football across the next couple of games, I’m telling you, he’s getting an assist for a Rasmus Højlund goal. Højlund will absolutely feast on those Pellistri crosses and cut-backs from the by-line. He’s brilliant at getting that extra
Takeaways from the first half:
— Kobbie Mainoo is the real deal, enjoyed his build-up role on that RHS
— Bruno Fernandes looks fully fit already, absolutely brilliant
— Jadon Sancho looks really sharp, showing real intent with end product
Overall, I’m really happy. The
Zidane Iqbal showing for the ball, dropping deep and making himself available.
Always wanted to be involved, was impressed by his performance.
He had the technical ability and the application to match, very promising.
