On the evening of September 15, at the Feyenoord Stadium, which can accommodate 52,000 fans, Manchester United's opening Europa League match of the season officially kicked off.

It was not only United's European debut of the season, but also Jose Mourinho's European debut.

Countless Red Devils fans are looking forward to a good start.

Van Persie wore the captain's armband and stood in the middle of the pitch with a serious expression.

It's completely different from the gag in the hotel yesterday.

Now he is the captain of Feyenoord and the opponent of Manchester United.

In this game, they will have to use the power of the home team to try their best to win.

Feyenoord have struggled in recent seasons and they need more wins to boost their morale and reputation.

Europe needs to go a little further and get more money.

This team has quite a few top-five league players.

For example, the veteran Kuyt, who is a Liverpool legend, has good offensive and defensive skills, and has excellent running ability.

For example, Jorgensen, a striker who plays in the Bundesliga, used to be the leading scorer for Bayer Leverkusen.

There is also Berghuis, who returned to the Bundesliga on loan from Watford this season, and is a great passer.

Although these players are no longer in their prime, they are experienced and still have the strength to fight.

As soon as the game began, Feyenoord launched an onslaught.

They will be hoping to use the strength of their home stadium to try to score early.

The attacking power of the 4-3-3 formation also put some pressure on Manchester United.

A series of swift attacks from the flanks continued to suppress Manchester United.

Van Persie won two low crosses, and Van Persie actually won the header.

Although he didn't score a goal, he also shocked Mourinho into a cold sweat.

"What are you doing? Give a gift to an old teammate? Cheer up! ”

Hearing Mourinho's angry rebuke, Manchester United's defence tightened.

Kuyt's diagonal pass found Van Persie, and this time centre-back Phil Jones brought Van Persie down.

Van Persie didn't get up for half a day.

"Man, are you alright?"

"You kid, you're so ruthless, just like before, desperately Saburo ......"

Van Persie got up and kicked Phil Jones hard in the ass.

De Gea, who was behind him, shouted: "Phil Jones, you lie down quickly, it's Van Persie who beats you!" ”

Van Persie: "David De Gea, you're a bad boy! ”

Although it is said that it is said, how could Phil Jones do this.

However, his fierce targeting of Van Persie is also true.

For the next period of time, Van Persie was held down and it was difficult for him to get his chances.

One after the other, Manchester United's attack came up.

Manchester United's midfield pairing for this game is Xia Xing, Paul Pogba and Michael Carrick.

Carrick is back from injury and will be responsible for controlling the tempo for this game.

In the opening stage, Xia Xing defended with all his strength and stabilized the team's midfield.

Pogba went all out.

In the last game against Manchester City, Pogba was suspended for a red card and did not play.

Seeing Xia Xing lead the team to defeat the opponent, Pogba was happy, but he was also anxious.

Now he has regarded Xia Xing as an opponent and compares him all the time.

If you can lead the team to win against Manchester City, I can rely on my ability to beat Feyenoord!

It was the 15th minute of the game and Pogba won the ball in the middle.

Verena grabs!

Pogba protects the ball with his back and suddenly pulls the ball over!

He passed his opponent!

At the moment, the Feyenoord attack group has not returned, and they are empty in the midfield!

A straight pass to the penalty area!

Ibrahimovic catches the ball and shoots decisively!

The ball hits the net!

1 to 0!

Manchester United scored first!

Ibrahimovic, who scored the goal, rushed to Pogba excitedly, and the two hugged tightly!

"Paul, you're nice!"

"Haha, so-so."

"If you had been in the last game, it would have been easier for us to play Manchester City!"

"Uh-huh!"

Pogba loves to hear that.

Next, he became more active.

In the 38th minute of the game, Pogba made another long pass and found Anthony Martial on the left flank.

Anthony Martial received the ball and burst into the box to shoot a shot.

The ball goes straight into the far corner!

2 to 0!

Manchester United scored another goal!

With a two-goal lead just before half-time, United had a two-goal lead and had the tempo of the game firmly in their hands.

In the second half, Feyenoord suddenly made a move.

Taking advantage of a counter-attacking opportunity, the ball was passed to the left wing.

Van Persie catches the ball on the side!

In the corner of the box, Van Persie shoots with his feet!

The ball arced and slid into the top right corner of the goal!

2 to 1!

Feyenoord pulled a goal back!

Excitedly, Van Persie threw punches hard and enjoyed the cheers of the home fans.

Scored!

He then rushed into the net, snatched the ball from David De Gea and ran towards the centre circle.

"Take it! Lao Tzu can still score goals in a while! ”

"you!"

Looking at Van Persie's triumphant appearance, De Gea was in a bad mood in an instant.

Why is this guy still in such good shape?

Even Rooney couldn't help but admire it secretly.

But praise goes ahead, after all, now everyone is in charge, and now the United players must also strive for goals and secure the win.

In the following period, Manchester United attacked fiercely.

Feyenoord were very good as a whole, they defended well and never gave United another chance.

Pogba made several passes in a row, all of which were disrupted by his opponent.

And Pogba was not fast with the ball, and the opponent made several tackles and destruction, but the offensive did not start.

In this way, Pogba has no choice.

Mourinho on the sidelines of the pitch was a little anxious.

The team needs to score goals now and we can't afford to sit still.

Leading by one goal is the least safe result.

In the 65th minute of the game, Mourinho used up two substitutions.

Anthony Martial was off on the left and Marcus Rashford came on.

Vice-captain Michael Carrick came off and Marouane Fellaini came off the bench.

Anthony Martial was down because he had just been tackled by his opponent and suffered a slight injury, so he was rested to be on the safe side, and was replaced by the same type of Rashford.

And Carrick's fate is a tactical arrangement.

On the one hand, Carrick is indeed seriously declining in fitness, and on the other hand, Mourinho wants to send a pure midfielder to activate Xia Xing.

In this situation, the team is in dire need of a game-breaker.

Xia Xing is the best candidate.

Fellaini, who came on the field, brought the manager's thoughts, and Xia Xing nodded.

Well, attack!

Next, Xia Xing's offensive began to increase!

Several successive wide breakthroughs have posed a great threat to Feyenoord.

It wasn't until the 77th minute of the game that Xia Xing finally made a killing attempt again.

This time it was again a breakthrough on the left flank, with Feyenoord making a quick comeback.

Facing opponents with excellent skills, Xia Xing had no intention of fighting with them at all.

Straight to the body!

The physical impact of the Eredivisie is far inferior to that of the Premier League, and the overall physical confrontation of Feyenoord players cannot be compared with Xia Xing.

Stumbling in the midfield, squeezing through two defenders, Xia Xing rushed into the penalty area!

Come near the near goalpost and have a chance!

However, Xia Xing did not choose to shoot strongly, but passed the ball in an inverted triangle!

Ibrahimovic's cover at the front point also misled the opponent!

Pogba plugged in from the back and fired directly into the far corner at the top of the penalty area!

There is nothing the goalkeeper can do!

The ball goes into the net!

3 to 1!

Manchester United extend their advantage again!

Excitedly, Pogba rushed up and hugged Xia Xing tightly!

"Xia, thank you for giving me the assist!"
