Each game is a big game at Man Utd. they just have to be focused, make sure they make good use of the international break, they are like coaches who stay at home, come back with energy again, clear focus, good thinking. According to Ole they dominated today, they just couldn’t get the second goal they wanted. Everton, they knew from last season, could have scored out of nowhere.
