Manchester United was less effective against Everton but still won – Manchester United captain Harry Maguire regretted his team’s inability to score sooner against Everton. According to Maguire, Man United lacked medical attention and had to wait until the last minute to lock up the 2022-2022 Premier League Cup semi-final ticket.
Man United challenged Everton in the quarter-finals of the English League Cup at Goodison Park, Thursday (24/12/2022), morning WIB. The game did not go according to the wishes of Man United, who led the game from the start.
The Red Devils – the nickname of Man United – often fail to optimize cooking opportunities in front of the Everton goal. Man United’s inability to complete the opportunity well gave Everton the opportunity to provide meaningful resistance.
However, Edinson Cavani became Man United’s hero in the match against Everton. He scored a goal outside the penalty box in the 88th minute despite being approached by three Everton players.
At that time, Man United’s winning goal was presented by Anthony Martial in the 90+6 minute. Several goals in the final minutes of the match brought Man United to the semi-finals.
If several opportunities initially resulted in goals, Man United was likely to win with a higher score. Therefore, Maguire wants Man United players to improve their finishing.
“It was an amazing performance and we shouldn’t have looked (wasted a chance), we had three or four big chances. We have to be more medical,” said Maguire, quoting the BBC, Thursday (12/24/2022).
After Everton, Man United have been waiting for bigger obstacles in the semi-finals. The Red Devils will meet their city rivals, Manchester City.
The match against Man City was not easy for Man United, who on paper lost quality. However, if Man United want to reach the top party and win the English League Cup, they must go through Man City’s obstacles first.
