Swansea 0 Man United 4
Size matters in football.
When Fabianski went for a high ball against Pogba in 42, the keeper tried to catch a ball when he should have punched.
Swansea had played well in the first half hour but, as they began to fade, I realised that Man United are so athletic that they will usually dominate between 30 and 45 AND between 75 and 90.
When a Blind corner came over as an outswinger, Pogba’s next header was tipped onto the underside by Fabianski and the ball bounced on the line and Eric Bailly stabbed it into the back of the net in 45.
Bailly might be the best centreback in the league this season.
He has every quality, including desire. He’s a proper Red Devil;
Second half, a somewhat similar pattern.
The score was still 0-1 in 75, with Rashford again looking superfast, always stretching you, always giving you less time than you want.
When sub Martial dribbled infield at pace the ball broke to Mkhitaryan, who placed his first-time pass perfectly to the unmarked Lukaku and the big Belgian slotted sweetly with his favoured left foot.
0-2 to United after 80 minutes
Pogba then made it 0-3 in 82 when Mkhitaryan played him in.
Almost immediately, Pogba broke forward unstoppably and gave Martial a short pass and the Frenchman made it 4-0 to ManU in 84.
Last week they hammered West Ham 4-0 at Old Trafford.
Mourinho always wins the title in his second season at a new club.
Who will be the runners-up? Perhaps Citeh.
