Manchester United are slowly coming into a pattern. They jog around in the first half, make a few mistakes and are regularly punished. However, after the break, the Red Devils turn into an entirely different beast. They press, they are resilient and they find higher gears. Against Juventus too, United showed a second half performance that would delight Mourinho.

United took the game to Juventus, ended their dominance on the ball and pinned the Italian side back to their goal. They initiated wave after wave of attack and were a threat from all around the box. They even managed to stay compact at the back. Every player looked energized and displayed a desire that is impressive. Even though they could not find the result they deserved, it is a good omen for the Red Devils.

Mourinho needs to delve deep into his tactics and box of tricks and find a way to ensure that the momentum that is displayed in the second half starts from the very first minute of the game. If he can do that, United will become unstoppable.
