Casemiro and Fred, the middle empire
Erik Ten Hag has tried multiple combinations in midfield since the start of the season, but the one lined up this Wednesday evening for the victory against Tottenham (2-0) has a good chance of being installed for a long time.
The two Brazilians Fred and Casemiro shined thanks to many balls recovered and a very good throwing ability.
The first even opened the scoring for the Red Devils with a countered flat left foot (47th).
The second signs a benchmark match which should definitely make him accepted by Old Trafford after his late arrival from Real Madrid this summer.
Hugo Lloris avoided disaster
This Wednesday, on the goalkeeper side, there was bad and good news for the staff of the France team.
The bad news is that AC Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan relapsed in training when he hoped to return to competition.
The good news is that Hugo Lloris is in sparkling form.
The captain of Tottenham and the Blues could not avoid defeat (2-0) but saved his people from sinking on the lawn of Manchester United.
He is the author of multiple decisive parades which have long disgusted the Mancunian attackers.
FLOPS
Yves Bissouma is no longer Yves Bissouma
Sparkling last season under the colors of Brighton, the Malian midfielder (26) is struggling to find his best level under the orders of Antonio Conte.
Tonight, he was dominated by midfielder Fred-Casemiro aligned by Erik Ten Hag.
Often late, imprecise in his controls and transmissions, he was more of a problem than a solution for his teammates.
It's frustrating when you know his immense talent.
Kane and Son did not find each other
Harry Kane and Heung-Min Son including two brilliant players, but they are dependent on each other.
When one scores, the other is often on the pass, and vice versa.
And above all, Tottenham very often relies on this magical duo.
Thus, when they exchange very few balls as was the case on the lawn of Old Trafford, the chances of victory for Spurs are greatly reduced.
Tottenham have been far too coy to hope for anything other than a loss to Manchester United.
