Chapter 0180: A Critical Battle

Manchester United, who won the canary, also reached 71 points in the league, and continued to press the leader Leicester City with a difference of 5 points.

However, at this time, not many people think that Manchester United can win the league title. Because as long as Leicester City win their next home game against Everton, they will win the title one round earlier.

However, when Leicester City's home game against Everton ended at 7.20pm local time on May 7, everyone was dumbfounded. Because the scoreboard at the King Power Stadium clearly shows 0:1, the home team Leicester City is in front.

And the only goal of the game came from Everton midfielder, former Manchester United player Cleverley!

In this game, although Vardy returned from the ban, he had no power to return when his teammates were generally sluggish. However, Everton, who played away, played very actively.

Everton are so positive, more than their friendly relationship with Manchester United, they don't want to be a backdrop. Because once Leicester beat them, their opponents will step on them to reach the top.

Cleverley was particularly agitated because of his position. Trained in the Manchester United Academy, he spent four years at Old Trafford and won the Premier League title in 2012/13.

Although he made a permanent move to Everton last summer, he has not given up hope of returning to the Theatre of Dreams. After all, he is still young, born on August 12, 1989, and he is still more than three months away from his 27th birthday.

Helping Manchester United beat their title rivals and keep his club's hopes of winning the league title alive will undoubtedly be a great benefit to his return journey.

In fact, when Cleverley beat Leicester City away, Red Devils fans were boiling over the Internet, demanding that United sign back the former Red Devils talent.

Of course, this is just wishful thinking on the part of the fans, and the transfer of a player involves many things, and Cleverley's return to Old Trafford is not so simple.

………………

Despite Everton's defeat of Leicester City, this does not mean that United's road to the title is an easy one, on the contrary, it is still full of thorns.

The biggest obstacle came from West Ham United. The Hammers have played very well this season under Frenchman Payet and still have hopes of qualifying for the Europa League. So, they have a good reason to beat Manchester United.

Of course, for more reason, this is their curtain call at Upton Stadium. After this game, they will move out of the stadium, which has been with the Hammers for more than 100 years, and move to their new home stadium, the London Bowl.

In order to thank the stadium that has accompanied the club for 100 years, West Ham United, including the fans, hope to sacrifice Manchester United's head to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the stadium.

However, West Ham also know that they have no advantage against Manchester United, and in terms of historical record, Manchester United has won 8 and drawn 4 in the last 12 league meetings against West Ham, and has won 11 and drawn 3 in the last 14 league meetings, all of which are unbeaten. The two sides have played 39 games in the Premier League, with West Ham losing 4, 10 and 25, while the Red Devils have won 8, drawn 9 and lost 2 away. The two sides have met 133 times in history, with Manchester United having the upper hand with 62 wins, 29 draws and 42 defeats.

As for recent developments, West Ham still have no chance of winning. Since losing away to Blackcat Sunderland in mid-February, the Reds have won a horrific 10 consecutive league games, and the Reds have changed so much from falling out of the Champions League to now being title contenders.

West Ham's results this season look good, but compared to Manchester United's recent results, it is simply not enough.

What's more, Manchester United also has Rashford, who has been crazy for more than two months, this comet-like rising goalscorer, since he entered the professional football game, still holds a terrible record of scoring goals in every game, and has scored 36 goals in ten Premier League games, is a strong contender for the European Golden Boot, and only former Liverpool striker Suarez is in front of him.

At present, 37 rounds of La Liga have been played, and the number of goals scored by the Barcelona center forward has also reached 37, ranking first in the European Golden Boot table. Behind him is Marcus Rashford, who has scored 36 goals.

………………

In order to win the curtain call at Upton Stadium, West Ham fans have done everything they can. On the way, they intercepted the bus in which the Manchester United players were travelling and threw water bottles and other objects at the bus, scaring the Manchester United players inside.

The game, which was scheduled to start at 7.45pm on 11 May, was postponed for 45 minutes until 8.30pm.

In this game, Manchester United still used the 4231 formation that had been used before. David De Gea is still in goal, with Valencia, Smalling, Blind and Rojo in the back four, Herrera and Schneiderlin, who were rotated last weekend, and Juan Mata up front, Anthony Martial and Wayne Rooney on either side, and Marcus Rashford still the lone arrow up front.

West Ham United played in a 442 formation, with Randolph as the goalkeeper, Antonio, Reed, Ogbonna and Cresswell as defenders, and the four midfielders Lanzini, Kouyate, Noble and Payet, and Sako and Carroll playing as two central strikers.

As the game began, West Ham players took advantage of the kick-off to the onslaught of the home fans and launched a fierce attack on the Manchester United goal.

Just after the first minute of the game, West Ham were awarded a free-kick on the right side of the United penalty area, some 50 yards from the United goal, and it was unlikely that a direct free-kick would be scored.

However, free-kicks in this position are still dangerous because West Ham have a lot of tall players in their squad and Payet, the heart of their midfield, Payet's free-kicks, so United are nervous about it.

Payet's free-kick didn't go straight to the high of the middle, but a low flat ball to United's right.

Cresswell received a pass from Payet and hoisted the ball with his left foot into the United penalty area, which was immediately chaotic and West Ham fell to the ground in a scramble between the two players.

However, such a chaotic situation made it difficult for the referee to make a judgment, and he simply ignored it, seeing that the ball was still under West Ham's control, the referee chose to let the game go.

West Ham continued to attack, with their striker Carroll taking advantage of his stature to get the ball in the spot, and Lanzini fired wide with a hook. I want to talk about "The British Emperor" with more like-minded people; Talk about life and find a confidant~
