Steady

Manchester United have not lost any of their last three games, but they have drawn. Right now, any point is better than no point at all.

Last weekend, Watford was defeated by Manchester United  1-2.  Depay gave United the lead in the 11th minute. Although Watford converted a penalty in the 87th, Deeney’s work was ruled out when he went on to score an own goal before the final whistle blew. Ouch!

On Wednesday, Manchester United experienced a goalless Champions League match against PSV Eindhoven. They then drew again today. Leicester took the lead in their game against United in the 24th minute. Just before half time, United equalised and the game advanced no further.

Manchester United are third place in the Premier League table. Although only one point seperates them from the top of the table, they still have Leicester, a surprising upcoming team, preventing them from reaching second.

 

Recovery

Before now, Manchester City had broken their winning streak and appeared to be stumbling down Hill. However, in their match against Southampton, they appeared to have reverted back to their good habits.

Last Saturday, in Manchester City’s previous Premier League match they faced a horrid 1-4 defeat against Liverpool. Mangala scored an own goal in the 7th minute, which must have dented the spirit of City and got Liverpool racing until they had bagged a golden victory!

Then, on Wednesday, Juventus continued where Liverpool left off.  Mandzukic netted the winning goal against Manchester City. Luckily, this has not hindered the City’s chances in getting to the next stage in the Champions League.

Despite these upsets, there is no need to worry. Manchester City deafeated Southampton 3-1, returning to their winning ways. De Bruyne scored the first goal in the 9th minute, which was soon followed by a goal from Delph. In the second half, Long netted a goal for the visitors. However, this was later undermined by a goal from Kolarov!

In eight days, Man City have gone to hell and back. Well, with every mistake made, they have learned. This is what makes them a strong team.
