Preview for Bilbao match, my observation:
MU
1. Shaw played for 45 min, possible him start at LWB against Bilbao?
2. Mount could be our X factor now and then, the chemistry between him and Garnacho was superb and he knows how to run into those spaces
Bilbao
1. Last week they have full week off, this week they also same like having league match but they played 6 hours later than us and need to travel to Manchester for return leg
2. Us vs Brentford and lost 3-4, we have big rotation, Bruno Case Mazra rested, the other having some playing times
3. Bilbao vs Sociedad 0-0, 4 players starts (2 played 90 min, 2 62 min), sub in another 3 plus they have first team player injured. Watch the match, quite boring and feel that they are under huge pressure now. Now their 4th spot not safe anymore cuz Villarreal and Betis are closing now, if next game they lost, Villarreal and Betis will overtake them, so now they need to taking care both sides while we only focus on Europa only
If next game we score an early goal to make it 4-0, or we keep giving them more pressure until second half still 0-0, I think they will give up on Europa and focus league
Nico William not playing over the weekend, not joined any team training, only individual training, possible he is still carrying old injury and play, see if their manager want to risk him to play or not
Sancet still injured and their manager only mentioned “doing well”
Captain De Marcos out with minor injury and he was under “precaution”
Vivian red carded so he is suspended for this match
Just hope we don’t do silly things and play like normal, and we can go thru
I just hope we dont concede early larh ...
