Demiral got injured tonight and actually played almost a whole half with an injury before he was subbed. Atalanta didn’t choke and United didn’t do some kind of miracle tonight.
They were lucky as hell against Villarreal, but tonight they deservedly won. What should worry them is how horrible they defensively actually are against teams with a plan. United are nowhere near the best 5 teams in Europe.

I didn't watch the game as Bayern played at the same time, but I imagine.
Their team is quite good on paper but they're still a very poor team tactically. As you say, unless they do a Chelsea from last season they won't win anything noteworthy.

I had them on tv while streaming Juve. They could easily have conceded 4 goals tonight. Sure. They could’ve scored a lot more goals, but they seriously can’t defend.

He’s not that good. I said it on Facebook during The Euros and my friends laughed at me. But it isn’t difficult to look world class as a defender, when your team parks the bus.
