The FA Cup is the most realistic shot the Red Devils have at winning a trophy this season. Losing to Huddersfield Town would mean kissing that chance good bye, but I knew Manchester United were not going to lose this game. It was impossible for the Terriers to knock out United and I know they would rather trade an FA Cup 5th round win for 3 points in the Premier League right now.
I actually did not watch the game live because I was on the road. By the way shout out to Lagos State Model College Igbonla, Epe my Alma Mater. The school hit the 30 year mark on Saturday and I am so proud to be associated with it. Thanks to the Old Students Association for a successful event.
Romelu Lukaku scored a goal in each half to hand Manchester United a quarter final berth.
Highlight of the game would however be Juan Mata’s disallowed goal late in the first half. The Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system was called into play and it adjudged Mata to be offside. The Spanish is now the first ever United player to have a goal disallowed via the system.
Another highlight for me on game day was the return to action for Eric Bailly, we need that element of steel at the back and what better time to return than when the game against Sevilla in the UEFA Champions League is just around the corner (Wednesday night).
The Red Devils play Brighton next in the quarter finals of the Emirates FA Cup.
Have a great week ahead guys. BLESS !!!
