Manchester United is not great against the greats

Manchester United has been reborn, but suffers from altitude sickness. Win, win and win, as long as it is not against the Big-Six. That's the summary of thetheir season. Seconds in the Premier League, but twelve points behind City, Solskjaer's men drew 0-0 on their visit to Stamford Bridge this Sunday. A positive result if we take into account the entity of the rival and the peach, but too repeated if they really want to become title contenders.

So much so, that in the seven games they have played against those considered great in the Premier League, they have only scored one goal and it was in the shameful defeat at Old Trafford against Tottenham (1-6) when the championship just started. Nevertheless, not all have been defeats, since only Arsenal, also in Manchester, has managed to steal all three points (0-1). The rest? 0-0. Twice against Chelsea and once vs Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City.

A scoring drought that is even more surprising if we take into account the offensive flow they show against the other 14 teams, since Solskjaer's men are the Premier's top scorer ahead of their city mates (53 to 52). 52 goals in 19 games, 2.7 per game, against Bruno's lone goal against Tottenham as the only goal against the Big-Six, which gives us a painful average value of 0.14, and increases the contrast.

It is true that the result of the match against Chelsea could have been different if the referee had considered a hand by Callum Hudson-Odoi punishable in his own area in conflict with Mason Greenwood. Stuart Atwell, after consulting the VAR, did not consider it that way and the penalty went away. Controversy aside, the meeting was losing pace with the passing of the minutes and if the first part gave offensive actions, in the second half it seemed that as many as the others took the point as good.

Another tough stop awaits him against a great European

The draw for the round of 16 of the UEFA Europa League, determined the fortune of Manchester United, which will have to face a great of the continent such as Milan. That is why, he will have to leave behind this negative streak against the powers, and quickly change the chip, if he does not want to be left out of the second most important competition on the continent. Ida's match will be next Thursday, March 11 in England, and the rematch a week later in Italy.
