Manchester United Fans welcome Sensational Academy Graduates

Scott McTominay and Andreas Pereira are both products of United’s youth academy, and put in an impressive showing in the side’s midfield in the absence of the injury-stricken Ander Herrera and Nemanja Matic.

Their performance has been another major positive. Pereira arguably had his finest game in a United shirt, first through the screamer and then by providing the assist to Lukaku’s first goal.

The Soton Game

Manchester United were able to defeat Southampton 3-2 at Old Trafford in dramatic fashion, with Romelu Lukaku’s brace proving to be the difference in the game.

The Saints opened the scoring at the Theatre of Dreams via Yan Valery in the first-half itself. It took 53 minutes for United to engineer a response, coming through substitute Diogo Dalot, who upon one minute of being subbed on, deftly passed the ball to Andreas Pereira who, in turn, equalized for the Red Devils.

The young full-back arguably had his best game in a United shirt, as just over five minutes later, he provided the assist to Lukaku’s goal that put United ahead for the first time.

However, it was the sheer beauty of his goal that still stood apart, and several supporters stormed to Twitter to rave about the beauty of that shot.

All in all, the future seems bright for United, and perhaps the club need not spend mind-boggling amounts on midfield maestros.
