Manchester United 0-1 Bayern Munich: 5 Talking Points 

#4 Manchester United had an urgency on the ball initially, but could not keep up the momentum

Pereira had an unusually quiet game

Unlike the previous games, United had an urgency on the ball today. Much of it was due to the presence of Fred and Herrera, who wasted little time on the ball and kept it moving. But every player seemed to have a desire to hit Bayern on the counter.

At the start of the game, Darmian and Shaw joined in the attack whenever United went forward. Shaw almost put Mata through with a fabulous ball, before the diminutive Spaniard was brushed off the ball. Darmian linked well with Mata and Herrera, and Sanchez covered for Shaw frequently.

In one instance, Shaw stepped up to intercept the ball, then ran the length of the pitch to receive it back from Rashford but unfortunately overhit his final pass to Fred. United played to their strengths initially and tried to catch Bayern on the counter and they displayed a rare urgency to make the strategy possible.

However, they could not keep up that momentum all through the game, and the main man Pereira was unusually quiet. It could be due to the fatigue of a packed preseason, but it definitely is something Mourinho must look to address.
