Well, they did it again. It is hardly unjust however to ask how a club that can bring on Paul Pogba, Jadon Sancho and Edinson Cavani from the substitutes’ bench, can ending up chasing a home game against Atalanta.
The resilience is always to be admired, buy why is it needed so often. Manchester United came back from 2-0 down at half-time here because of that tried and tested strategy: moments. They created moments of great pressure because they had to, having afforded Atalanta an enormous advantage. And when a team has so many fine players at its disposal throwing the kitchen sink at it produces results.
