Three things we learned: Manchester United 1-2 Sevilla

Marek — Tue, 13 Mar 2018 23:06:17 +0000

Manchester United were knocked out of the Champions League in the round of 16 stage after they produced a rather underwhelming performance against Sevilla at Old Trafford.
Jose Mourinho’s side were expected to dominate the proceedings after playing out a dull 0-0 draw on the road, but the Red Devils surprisingly struggled to exhibit their dominance.
Barring the opening exchanges, Sevilla managed to gain a decent possession of the ball, and they controlled the play at the heart of the midfield with Steven N’Zonzi putting in a stellar showing.
The match appeared to be headed for another goalless stalemate, which would have forced extra-time, but Wissam Ben Yedder changed the complexion of the game from the bench.
The Sevilla marksman scored twice after just six minutes onto the pitch, and this pretty much summed United’s performance, with Romelu Lukaku bagging the only consolation in a 2-1 aggregate defeat.
Three things we learned:
Jose Mourinho’s tactical decision: The Special One was praised for his awareness against Liverpool on Saturday, where he utilised the long-ball tactical to his side’s advantage. However, the same ploy backfired against Sevilla, who were more defensively sound than the Reds. Marouane Fellaini’s involvement ahead of Scott McTominay was another surprise, and the Belgian struggled to win the midfield battle over N’Zonzi, whilst tending to slow down the play.
Vincenzo Montella’s game-changing substitution: Much to the Neutral’s surprise, Ben Yedder did not make off the bench during the goalless draw at Sevilla last month. However, he got his chance to impress at Old Trafford from the bench in the 72nd minute and turned the tide of the game. The Andalusian outfit never looked like scoring with Luis Muriel on the field, but Ben Yedder took his chances with both hands to score a match-winning brace. The Frenchman should have bagged a well-deserved hat-trick right at the end.
Make or Break for Manchester United: For all the progress made through the season, United’s success could be determined on whether they can attain success via the FA Cup. The Red Devils ended the previously campaign on a high note by lifting the Europa League crown, and the players now have to sort out themselves to compete for Cup glory. The likes of Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur are likely to offer stiff competition, but Mourinho is certain to feel the pressure from the fans, if United go trophyless this term.

Jose Mourinho delivers fitness update on Anthony Martial and Paul Pogba

Marek — Mon, 12 Mar 2018 22:14:34 +0000

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has confirmed the return of Anthony Martial ahead of Tuesday night’s Champions League tie versus Sevilla. Paul Pogba, however, remains doubtful after having only participated during the final stages of the training session held on Monday morning.
In a report covered by United’s official website, the Portuguese tactician confirmed the good news regarding the fitness of Martial, who had missed recent outings versus Crystal Palace and Liverpool.
The France international had been recuperating from a minor thigh problem, and his arrival is likely to provide selection headaches for the manager, given Marcus Rashford bagged a match-winning brace against Liverpool during his absence.
Meanwhile, compatriot Pogba had suffered a deep gash on his leg after a challenge from Scott McTominay in training prior to the Reds game, and it appears that he has not fully recovered from the incident with Mourinho unsure over his participation.
Aside from this, United are pretty much with the same players from the previous game, with Phil Jones, Marcos Rojo, Daley Blind and Ander Herrera in the treatment room, whilst Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s involvement has not been mentioned, despite the Swede featuring in an open-training session on Monday.
Manchester United settled for a 0-0 draw against Sevilla in the Champions League round of 16 first-leg last month, and their performance was rather underwhelming with the Andalusian outfit exhibiting their dominance in their home turf.
The La Liga side were still wasteful with their finishing for the most of the game, barring one bullet header from Luis Muriel from four yards which required the world-class reflexes from David de Gea to keep United level.
At Old Trafford, Jose Mourinho’s side should have the encouragement to attack from the off, but they still need to be wary of conceding an away goal, which could be detrimental, as they would then have to score at least twice, to stay in the competition.

Marek — Mon, 25 Dec 2017 07:54:28 +0000

Arsenal have been linked with French international and Sevilla star Steven N’Zonzi for quite some time and the latest reports are intriguing.
The 29-year-old defensive midfielder has not featured for the Spanish club since he played against Liverpool in the Champions League at home.
Eduardo Berizzo had problems with the Les Bleus midfielder but now that Sevilla have sacked their manager, things might change.

Still, according to Express, Arsene Wenger is keen on securing the signing of the versatile defensive midfielder, who is rated around 30 million pounds (€34million). He has emerged as Arsenal’s priority target for the winter transfer window.
Steven has got ample Premier League experience having played 195 times in the competition and that is why other PL clubs like Everton and West Ham are interested in luring him as well (Express).
The British source have further mentioned that even Serie A champions Juventus are looking to hire the services of N’Zonzi, who has played 10 league games for Sevilla in the current campaign.
Arsenal have an over-crowded midfield department with more than a few defensive and central midfielders around. In your opinion, is N’Zonzi good enough to get straight into Wenger’s starting XI?

$43.4million Star could Agree Arsenal Move

Arsenal do not really need to sign a defensive midfielder when they already have stars like Elneny, Xhaka and Coquelin, who can effectively play in the DM position.
Still, recent, reports have linked Sevilla’s holding midfield star Steven N’Zonzi with Arsenal.
According to Daily Mail, the 29-year-old midfielder is in London and will hold talks with the likes of Arsenal and Everton as he is set to leave the Spanish club in the January transfer window.

Few days back, we covered a report (via El Gol) claiming that the North Londoners seem willing to meet Sevilla’s asking price to sign Steven, who has a release clause of 40 million euros. If that report is to be believed then the Gunners are perhaps favorites to sign him.
Contrary to the report covered by El Gol, Daily Mail claim that N’Zonzi has got a release clause of 32.5million pounds ($43.4million).
This season, the Les Bleus player featured in 16 games for Sevilla before getting kicked out of the team. He has not played a single game since he featured against Liverpool in the Champions League last month.

How Arsenal will Line up with $47million Play Breaker

Marek — Wed, 13 Dec 2017 05:42:00 +0000

Arsenal do not really need to sign a play breaker in the upcoming winter transfer window but they might end up doing so.
Yesterday, we covered a report (via El Gol) claiming that the Gunners seem to have agreed the signing of Sevilla star Steven N’Zonzi, who has a release clause of 40 million euros ($47million) in his contract.
The 28-year-old star has been effective for the La Liga club since joining them in 2015 and last month, he made his senior international debut for France.

The question is, how will Arsene Wenger use him in his starting XI?
The French boss has already got two quality defensive midfielders in the form of Granit Xhaka and Francis Coquelin. At the moment, the Swiss international is the preferred man for the starting team.
If N’Zonzi arrives, that too for $47million, then it will be baffling to see him out of the starting XI. Therefore, we expect him to replace Xhaka to start with Ramsey in the center of the park.
Here is how Arsenal will line up with N’Zonzi, if he arrives and the club also manage to hold on to Ozil and Alexis.

If reports in the media are anything to go by then Arsenal seems to be close to signing the Les Bleus star.
According to El Gol, there is a great possibility that N’Zonzi, who has a release clause of 40 million euros in his contract ($47million), will depart the La Liga club in the winter transfer window.
The Spanish source have mentioned that Arsenal seems to have agreed the transfer for 37 million euros plus 3 million euros in add-ons, which would meet Sevilla’s demand.
Steven is naturally a defensive midfielder and Arsenal already have the likes of Xhaka and Coquelin, who can perform in the DM role effectively. This season, N’Zonzi has featured in 16 games in all competitions for the Spanish side (0 goals and 0 assists). In your opinion, do Arsenal really need to sign him?
