#2 Daniel Wass misses Celta’s best opportunity early in the game
Trending
Celta Vigo’s greatest regret coming out of this game will be their inability to finish off their chances and take advantage of a Manchester United defence consisting of a centre-half pairing of Daley Blind and Eric Bailly, the latter had hobbled off against Swansea during the weekend and looked rusty for the majority of the game.
The best opportunity fell for attacking midfielder Daniel Wass in the 12th minute. A perfectly lofted cross from Nemanja Radoja was met by Wass, who managed to sneak through the United defence unmarked. The lack of pace on the cross meant that Wass had time to direct his header on target and out of reach of Romero.
However, the Dane failed to do so and the chance went begging. A Celta Vigo goal so early in the game would have put an injury-hit Manchester United side right on the backfoot, and made a difference in the eventual scoreline.
