Mario Melchiot

I think he did well in the three days that he had the team, you understand, when he took over.

I think how he set them up was really important.

When you look at the midfield, for example, you know, Maino played there, Casemiro and Fernandes.

The moment when they broke out and they lose the ball, the way those guys were sprinting back was different than we have seen them play.

Because normally we see, you know, one sprint back and the other one doesn't do it.

It was like a team effort.

And what he also did...

Diallo and Doku, they were blocking the inside of the wingers for Manchester City.

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?
