On 21 September, Manchester United faced Northampton away in the Carabao Cup, and Northampton are far worse than Southampton, they have only been promoted to League One this season, and they are an out-and-out underdog compared to Manchester United.

Jose Mourinho fielded almost all of the substitutes in this game, but due to the difference in quality, Manchester United finally won 3-1 thanks to goals from Carrick, Herrera and Rashford.

On September 23, in the sixth round of the English Premier League, Manchester United hosted Leicester City.

The two teams met in the Community Shield at the start of the season, when United beat them 2-0, while Leicester City have been a far cry from last season since the start of the season, with just two wins, one draw and two defeats in their first five games, and it seems that winning a Premier League title has taken them out of motivation – just like Shen Peng's Bochum a few years ago.

There was not much suspense in this game, because just half an hour into the game, Manchester United were already 2-0 up, and Leicester's overall form was not very good, there were many small mistakes, and Manchester United had a goal that was caused by Leicester's mistakes.

In the 37th minute, Rooney passed the ball to Shen Peng, after Shen Peng stopped the ball, in the solemn expression of the opponent's defenders, he flicked a belt under his feet, and easily shook the opponent with a feint, and then took the ball all the way forward, came to the opponent's big penalty area, and suddenly got up when the opponent's defenders were not completely close.

The ball flew through the air in an eerie arc and into the goal.

There were loud cheers from the sidelines.

After scoring the goal, Shen Peng immediately ran to the sidelines, and then made a move that no one expected.

He came to the sidelines with a set of "Twelve-Way Tan Legs" that he taught himself to follow TV when he was a child, and the two legs were like whips, swinging vigorously, and after the fight, he stood up and made a fist posture.

At this time, the fans on the sidelines suddenly boiled, and many people who were close couldn't help but whistle, and some people began to applaud and howl.

Then, someone shouted "Kung Fu Kid", and the title slowly spread out in the crowd, and more and more fans accepted the title, and after a while, the entire Old Trafford stadium began to shout "Kung Fu Kid" in unison.

Shen Peng didn't expect his casual actions to cause such a big sensation, and these fans seemed to be very receptive.

"Wow! Cruel! ”

At this time, his teammates all ran over and celebrated with Shen Peng.

Shen Peng had also enjoyed this kind of treatment at West** Stadium before, so he didn't lose his temper at this time, and after thanking the fans, he ran back to his position and waited for the opponent to serve.

Leicester City has been a little stunned by Manchester United's three goals, in the next game, at the end of the first half, Manchester United led four to zero, in the second half, Manchester United also slowed down the tempo, for the rest of the game, although Leicester City scored a face-saving goal, but then Manchester United also colored, a "warning" like a goal completely made Leicester City honest.

In the end, Manchester United won 5-1 at home to the defending champions.

……

"Honey, you're back in number one again!"

In the evening, Delia said to Shen Peng that because in the just-concluded round of the game, Manchester City defeated Swansea City 3-1, so Manchester United surpassed Manchester City to rank first by virtue of goal difference.

'Man City are really strong. Shen Peng said that as Guardiola's old rival, Shen Peng also knows Guardiola very well, and in the last game with Manchester City, Manchester City brought a lot of pressure.

"By the way, how did you come up with that celebration when you scored a goal earlier?" Delia asked with a sudden wink.

"Zlatan told me before, try it with kung fu, I'll try it...... What's wrong, doesn't it look a little silly? ”

"No, it's good, it's very creative." Delia smiled and said, "What I'm going to say is that now you have a nickname among the fans, and you're called 'Kung Fu Kid'. ”

"Kung Fu kid? Not bad......"

Shen Peng chattered, he used to have nicknames, such as when he was in Bochum at the beginning, he played in the back, at that time his long-range shots often opened up the situation for the team, so he was called "Bochum heavy gunner", but later as his opponent became stronger and stronger, his long-range goal rate became lower and lower, and since he played as a striker, he rarely shot from a distance, so this nickname has slowly become unpopular.

Later, he still had some nicknames, but they were either not loud enough or not appropriate enough, so they didn't spread.

But now, he didn't expect that because of his celebration, he suddenly had such a nickname.

……

After the victory over Leicester City, Manchester United ushered in the second game of the Europa League on September 29, hosting Luhansk Dawn of the Ukrainian Premier League.

Even so, United were able to take their opponents 2-0 and win two consecutive Europa League group stage winners, and they finished top of the group.

……

At 11 o'clock at noon on October 2, in the seventh round of the Premier League, Manchester United hosted Stoke City.

Stoke City are not strong, but in this game, they are still fighting hard to catch the Manchester United players off guard after the Europa League.

In the 69th minute, Manchester United scored a goal by Shen Peng.

But in the eighty-second minute, Stoke City's Joe? Allen capitalised on a mistake in United's defence to score the equaliser.

In the end, Manchester United were held to a 1-1 draw at home and secured their second draw of the season.

On the other hand, Manchester City lost 0-2 away to Tottenham, so now in the standings, Manchester United and Tottenham are also unbeaten with five wins and two draws, and Manchester United still continues to be at the top of the standings on goal difference.

After two months of competition, the situation in the Premier League is still very scorching.

The top five places in the league are Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool, while the first-place Manchester United is only one point ahead of fifth-placed Liverpool.

Even seventh-place Chelsea have thirteen points, which is rare in other leagues, and in the Bundesliga, where Shen Peng was before, Bayern Munich has now opened up at least six points behind the fourth and fifth places.

After this round of fixtures, it will be another exciting international break, however, the first game from the national team will be the first game away to Liverpool.

Mourinho secretly scolded bad luck, last time it was Manchester City, this time it was Liverpool, he only hopes that the manager of the national team will not let the players get injured, otherwise the game against Liverpool will be difficult.
