So Doku couldn't take his defender on and taking him on on the inside because there was always one of the wingers was always blocking that path for him.

So setting that up for Man United was incredible.

They couldn't get through.

And then also the counter-attacks.

We saw the goal of Mbwemo.

The counter-attacks from Man United when they came out,

It was like even I was surprised, like saying like, wow, this is a totally different team I'm watching now.

So for them to win that game, it was just also they set the tone in the beginning.

OK, one could have gotten a red card because that kick on Doku's knee from Dalot was really bad.

But I feel like they started off well and they played the game like a real derby, like a proper English derby.

And that is why Man United won the game.

Look, it always has an impact on you, right?

But if you do it, if it's the first time, I think it has more effect than when it continuously happens because then you're going to prep yourself against it.

And those players, we're talking about players that are playing at arguably the biggest club in the world and it's been for years.

It's not like it's now.

So when you make that choice of going there, you know what kind of stakes are at play.

So I saw Kylian talk, you understand, because he was saying like, oh, don't pick on Fini because it's also our responsibility.

I think it's as a team effort, Bellingham, don't pick on him because it doesn't make sense what you guys are doing because everybody's responsible for it.

So for a player to say that about his teammates and then also pulling the responsibility to himself, that says that those guys are ready for it.

And what Ali said, I totally agree.
