The Saints were playing at home, but there was no doubt that they were quickly showing signs of weakness in front of the scrappy Manchester United players.

By the 60th minute of the second half, United had already led by two goals.

The first goal was assisted by Chu Ge and Marcus Rashford; The second goal came near the end of the first half, Anthony Martial crossed, Chu Ge stopped the ball at the back point and cleverly passed, Pogba received the ball and passed the football diagonally to the left, Martial successfully countered offside and scored with a strong shot.

'With Van Dijk's absence, our defence has dropped a lot. Especially in the face of opponents' star-level attacking players, such as Chu Ge in today's game, the defense line is always very passive. ”

"There's no way around it."

Southampton manager Claude Pierre looked at Manchester United's number seven on the pitch and felt helpless.

Originally, the team was inferior to others, and the only advantage was the home field and physical fitness, but I didn't expect to be blown up by that Chinese.

Chu Ge did not play in the second leg of the Europa League semi-finals, he was well rested and his fitness was not a problem. Southampton's defenders want to defend against the physical Chu Ge, and it is really difficult for some strongmen.

Pierre turned his attention to the back of the field.

If Chu Ge is Manchester United's sharpest spear, then the defense composed of Kante, Manolas, and De Gea is undoubtedly the shield of the Red Devils.

"Ferguson is still good."

Pierre looked at the United dugout.

He admired Ferguson.

In the coaching class, some people are good at tactics, some people are good at building teams, some people are good at on-the-spot command, and some people are good at playing chicken blood...... Each has its own strengths, and most of them have their own shortcomings.

But Ferguson is different.

He plenary.

And it's all fine.

That's pretty hard to come by.

If there's one weakness in Ferguson, it's probably his age.

After all, he is over 70 years old and his body is no longer as healthy as before, so there have been rumors that Ferguson will retire from Manchester United again this year or next year.

"Coming back at Manchester United's most difficult time, regardless of personal gains and losses, single-handedly putting the team back on winning track, whether or not they can win the title this year, his comeback is worthy of respect."

……

Manchester United dugout.

After seeing that the score was leading and the situation was basically stable, Ferguson decisively decided to make a substitution.

Two youngsters on the bench were called over.

Mason Greenwood (2011) and Brandon Williams (2000).

The two post-zero youngsters have ushered in their debuts in the first team of Manchester United.

……

Chu Ge was replaced.

At the end of the pitch, all the United fans, and even many Southampton fans, stood up and gave him a round of applause.

Chu Ge walked to the sidelines and completed the substitution with Greenwood.

"Don't be nervous, enjoy the game." Chu Ge smiled like a big brother and patted Greenwood on the shoulder.

Greenwood nodded vigorously.

The young general's eyes were shining brightly when he looked at Chu Ge.

Obviously, he was excited.

The promotion from Manchester United's under-18 to the first team, his first appearance in the Premier League, and the substitution of a superstar like Chu Ge made Greenwood feel like he was living in a dream.

He even had some weakness on his feet.

However, despite some nervousness, Greenwood quickly adjusted his mentality. He dared to fight and rush on the field, and he had the momentum of a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers.

"The lad is pretty good." Chu Ge did not hesitate to praise his juniors.

Ferguson looked at Chu Ge with a smile.

In today's game, Chu Ge did not score, but he was still the best player in the game. Not only did he disrupt the opponent's defensive set-up on a number of occasions, but both of United's goals were also linked to him. It is precisely because of Chu Ge's wonderful performance that Ferguson has enough confidence to send youth players in such a game, so that the youngsters can accumulate valuable game experience.

"Insisting on introducing Chu Ge at the beginning may be my most successful decision." Ferguson was very accomplished.

Ferguson has always been envious of Barcelona having a player like Messi.

Because of Messi, Barcelona's high-level infighting and frequent coach changes have always had a stable lower limit for team results. Even if it is replaced by a rookie coach, Barcelona's results have not been too obvious ups and downs.

"I believe that even if I leave Manchester United now, the team's results will not be as big as they used to be. Because we have Chu, Manchester United's lower limit is guarded by him. ”

Ferguson was reassured.

……

The game is over.

3：1。

Manchester United won away at Southampton.

"Manchester United clearly have reservations about this game. Pogba and Chu Ge, the two absolute main players, did not play the full 90 minutes. In such circumstances, they still won the game and kept the suspense of the league title until the final round. ”

"Manchester United are showing that they are very strong. Although most people still don't think highly of them, there is no doubt that United have earned everyone's respect with their performances. Even if they don't win this year's league title against Chelsea, who have won seven in a row, this season will still be a successful season for them! ”

In the Sky Sports studio, the commentator gives the final summary of the game.

Like everyone else, he is looking forward to the final round of the league.

That would be a Mars collision with Earth's heavyweight glue.

Manchester United host Chelsea!

The first battle is the winner.

Win the battle!

……

“The Red Is Back！”

"Come on Manchester United, we will be champions!"

'A win over Chelsea and we're going to lift the trophy at Old Trafford!'

After the game.

On social media, Manchester United fans erupted with intense enthusiasm. They used an almost swiping method to cheer for their beloved team.

And so are the Chelsea fans.

As soon as this round of the league ended, they couldn't wait to see the final match.

The fans are hungry for the title.

Similarly, there has been a heated discussion in the media about the ownership of the league title.

Compared to Manchester United, Chelsea are undoubtedly the favourites of the pundits.

Antonio Conte's side have been the most consistent in the league.

After an early season in the league, the Italian boss has unleashed the Blues' potential. Chelsea have the most consecutive wins in the league and are on a seven-game winning streak before the final round of the league.

Compared to Manchester United's injury camp and two-front fighting, Chelsea are strong and without the drag of Europe, and they are much more physical than Manchester United.

'Ibrahimovic is injured and out, so as long as they keep an eye on Chu Ge and Paul Pogba, Chelsea will hardly have too many problems.

"Eden Hazard, Diego Costa and Pedro have the trident to destroy any defence in the world, and the wings of Cesar Azpilicueta and Moses will make United's weak wide defence suffer. There is no doubt that this season's Premier League winners will be the stronger Chelsea side. ”

'For Manchester United, their more realistic goal would be to reach the Europa League final.

'The Europa League final and the league game against Chelsea are just three days apart. Compared to Chelsea, Ajax is more of a 'soft persimmon'. If Manchester United are hoping to claim a worthy title at the end of the season, rather than nothing, they should have a trade-off. Focusing on the final against Ajax is the most pragmatic option. ”

So writes the Times columnist in his preview of the final round of the Premier League.

Just like this expert, the vast majority of professionals hold similar views.

Two tigers compete, the stronger wins.

And Chelsea are undoubtedly that strong man.

This is also confirmed by the odds offered by the bookmakers for the final match.

Chelsea win, 1.2 to 1.

Chelsea draw, 1.8 to 1.

Manchester United wins, 2.5 to 1.
