Manager Louis vanGaal lowered almost all the new players who bought on the transfer market this
summer. Memphis Depay, Morgan Schneiderlin, and Matteo Darmian became the
starter, including goalkeeper Sergio Romero, who replaces David De Gea.
Action has been
running for five minutes, Christian Eriksen has a golden opportunity. He was
able to open the empty space and kick off in the Manchester United FC penalty
box, but the ball that he kick is actually soaring over the crossbar.
But actually,
since the kick-off whistle sounded, MU directly plays aggressively. The result
obtained in the 22nd minute after Walker
does an own goal. It is a goal that is expected by the host fans, which just
happened in the 22nd minute. Instead of block the ball at the foot of Wayne
Rooney after receiving a cross from the right wing given Ashley Young, Walker actually kick
smoothly the skin round the bottom right corner of the goal, but it ended up
behind the goal line Vorm.
The first half
ended with 1-0 to United.
The second half
began, the United army seemed very eager to increase the advantage. MU in fact,
almost back to get the opportunity through Juan Mata in the 35th minute, but
failed to produce a goal. They look difficult to penetrate the tight defense of
Tottenham, which is raised by Alderweireld and Vertonghen.
While the Spurs
got the several times chances to score through their hard efforts to dismantle
the Red Devils back line, it's just caused by the slick appearance of the MU
defenders, including Chris Smalling, making these opportunities do not fruitful
goal.
One of the best
opportunities Spurs came from Eriksen in the 89th minute. The ball that he had
headed it is hitting the foot of MU defender and leads into the goal, before it
is cleared by Sergio Romero.
Until the game
ended, there are no additional goals that happen. Manchester United FC recorded
a sweet start with a 1-0 win in the first game Premier League 2015-16 season at
Old Trafford on Saturday (08/08/2015 )
over Tottenham at home match and won the full three points.
