A big win away at Northampton saw Manchester United advance to the quarter-finals of the EFL Cup.

And the results of the draw after that made countless fans instantly excited.

Manchester city!

Manchester United had just beaten Manchester City in the league a few days ago and now they are going to meet again.

A month later, the Manchester City duo fought again.

Although the draw was exciting, the focus of Manchester United's players is not here.

Because three days later, on September 30, Manchester United will play in the Europa League again.

This time, their opponent is Solya.

In this group, Solja is the weakest opponent, but even so, Mourinho is not taken lightly.

Manchester United played all the main players in this game.

In the midfield position, Xia Xing, Pogba and Carrick are partnered.

Facing opponents who are good at defending and good at physical collision, Mourinho did not send a pure midfielder.

Because the biggest difficulty for Manchester United in this game is to score goals, not to defend.

After all, with the strength of Manchester United's defenders, it is more than enough to deal with the opposing defenders.

Therefore, the most important thing is whether we can score early and secure the win.

Before the game, Mourinho told him repeatedly.

Before the game, Mourinho kept instructing.

Be sure to attack boldly and press on!

It wasn't until the game started that Mourinho realized he was overthinking.

The players were particularly bold today.

Even the full-backs are about to become strikers.

Soon after the opening, Xia Xing broke through along the left side and had a wonderful cooperation with Ashley Young.

Eventually, Ashley Young's cross was headed just wide by Ibrahimovic.

United came close to scoring on the first attack.

Three minutes later, it was Carrick who combined with Valencia's pass, who rushed to the baseline with the ball and crossed.

Wayne Rooney tackles at the back post and the ball slides wide.

Just five minutes into the game, Manchester United hit the goal twice, and both almost broke the net!

Assistant coach Perlan, who was on the sidelines, did not pass the regret, and soon he was overjoyed.

Manchester United have scored!

This time it was a pass in the middle, and Pogba made a long pass to the left wing!

Rooney catches the ball and knocks decisively!

Xia Xing ran diagonally and had come to the top of the arc of the penalty area!

Squeeze through defenders, catch the ball, and shoot with your feet!

A series of actions are simply decisive!

The ball goes into the net!

1 to 0!

Manchester United scored first!

The deadlock-breaking goal kicked off the whole game for Manchester United.

In the 15th minute of the game, Pogba dribbled the ball in the middle and passed diagonally to the right side!

Mkhitaryan quickly stepped forward and successfully countered offside!

Push the far corner!

The ball goes into the net!

2 to 0!

Manchester United scored another goal!

In the 33rd minute, Pogba was forced to the left by a defender, but he still protected the ball steadily.

Suddenly divide the ball!

The ball flew out of the crowd!

Go straight to the middle!

Xia Xing catches the ball!

Just when Pogba dribbled the ball to the left, Xia Xing quickly ran to the middle!

Although it is to deal with the defense, it has also completed the cross-switching!

Pogba's pass to Xia Xing!

Xia Xing took two steps and shot directly!

The ball hits the net again!

The goalkeeper didn't react in the slightest!

Burst from 35 meters away!

3 to 0!

Manchester United scored another goal!

Five minutes later, Pogba did the same and also came with a burst shot in the middle!

The power of the ball was fine, but the angle was too positive and it was saved by the goalkeeper!

But it's not over!

Ibrahimovic followed up with a tackle and the ball flew into the net!

4 to 0!

Manchester United scored another goal!

In first-half stoppage time, United were awarded a set-piece in front.

Xia Xing stood in front of the ball and slowly retreated.

The restricted area is crowded!

But Xia Xing didn't pass the ball, he shot directly with his feet!

This position is relatively right-hand and suitable for passing, so no one thought that Xia Xing would try to shoot directly!

Even my teammates didn't expect it!

That's why it's even more deceptive!

The ball hangs straight into the near corner of the goal!

Accurate access to the network!

5 to 0!

Manchester United scored another goal!

In the live broadcast room, Alan Shearer smiled.

"The ball is in again!

"What a brilliant shot, fantastic!

'It was United's fifth goal of the game and they won the game!

It was also Xia's third goal of the game and he scored a hat-trick!

"In domestic competitions, xia tends to be even,

"But in these two Europa League games, xia broke out with a strong offensive strength,

"Especially today, three goals in a row sealed the win,

"This season he can only play in the Europa League, what a loss!"

On the sidelines, Mourinho and Perrin were also clapping excitedly.

Seeing Xia Xing's good state, both of them were very happy.

Peilan: "Xia is amazing, why do you think he's so excited today?" ”

Jose Mourinho: "I guess I didn't play in the last EFL Cup, so I held it back." ”

Perran: "Hahahaha! It's possible! This kid is suffocating! ”

Looking at the excited summer trip on the field, Mourinho's eyes were full of love.

Xia Xing's talent, diligence and tenacity made Mourinho very happy.

But what the Portuguese appreciate the most is Xia Xing's pure heart for football.

He is not only looking forward to winning, but also looking forward to the game, looking forward to playing in every game and fighting with all his might.

That's what people really love football.

With such a passion, coupled with top talent, and the blood that you are willing to pay for, how can you not succeed?

Originally, Mourinho planned to replace Xia Xing in the second half and let him rest.

But seeing his excitement now, Mourinho put away his thoughts.

Let him keep playing happily, no problem.

Anyway, it's about to go into the national team break, so let's keep enjoying the football with these lads.

In the second half, Jose Mourinho brought on a couple of substitutions.

Veterans Ibrahimovic, Wayne Rooney and Michael Carrick were substituted for a good rest.

Youngsters Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford and Ander Herrera came on to keep going.

Conceding five goals in a row in the first half, Solja has run out of energy.

At the start of the second half, they conceded again.

Xia Xing accurately tore the defense with a long pass, and Rashford sprinted quickly and stopped the ball first on the bottom line!

Pull back with your left foot and shoot into the far corner with your right foot!

The ball goes under the goalkeeper's armpit and into the net!

The ball is in!

6 to 0!

With six goals in hand, the Manchester United players have completely let themselves go.

For the next period of time, they played with passing control in the front court.

The young players showed off all kinds of tricks.

In the 78th minute, Anthony Martial dribbled the ball through the middle, shook off three defenders in succession, and was finally brought down by an angry defender with a frontal tackle.

Just when the referee was about to blow the whistle, Xia Xing suddenly followed!

Don't hesitate to shoot with your feet!

The ball bypassed the opposition defence and curled into the top right corner of the goal!

The goalkeeper was still waiting for the referee's whistle, he didn't expect Xia Xing to shoot so quickly!

This shot reflects Xia Xing's astuteness and wisdom!

Insert the ball into the net!

The ball is in!

7 to 0!

Xia Xing staged a big four!

Today is really a stage and a competition that belongs to him!
