3 reasons why Manchester United lost against Juventus

#1 Starting games on the backfoot

Martial needs to start finding his mojo earlier in games

Prevention is better than cure. Agreed. But Manchester United seem to have a warped interpretation of the proverb. United sole objective while starting games seems to be trying to prevent the opposition from scoring goals. But they have always ended up conceding thanks to their poor defence.

What Manchester United should be doing is preventing situations of crisis. They always seem to be digging a hole for themselves and then trying to clutch and pull their way out of it.

The Red Devils are a real treat to watch when they are unshackled. Halfway through the second half, there was a sustained spell of pressure from United and it looked like Juventus was finally going to give. But Pogba's left-footed strike hit the post and United were criminally denied parity.

Manchester United need to stop conceding early goals and should instead open the floodgates at the first blow of the whistle. Let's just see how that works for a bit at least, eh?
