Xia Xing shot into the net with one foot, making the court silent.

Solja fans were hoping for a draw and a point.

But the harsh reality makes it difficult for them to face.

It was only then that they truly realized the difference between themselves and their opponents.

Emaciated camels are bigger than horses.

Even Manchester United, which is in a period of transition and change, is not something they can match.

The disadvantage of seven goals is too far behind.

When the referee blew the final whistle, the score was 7-0.

Solya's players left the field as quickly as they fled, and they didn't want to stay for a moment.

The Manchester United players excitedly came to the visiting fans to thank the expeditionary force for their support.

They won the game heartily.

In the past two group games of the Europa League, Manchester United has not only won two in a row, but also reached double digits on goal difference, leading the group standings.

Barring the exceptions, they are guaranteed to win the group.

For the Red Devils, the real challenge will only come until the knockout rounds.

And before the knockout rounds arrive in February next year, the most important thing for Manchester United is to grab points in the league.

The more league points you get, the more you can rotate in the dense schedule of European competitions.

For Manchester United, how to rotate reasonably is one of the most difficult topics for Mourinho this season.

Now, they are faced with the nearest choice.

On 30 September, Manchester United just finished the group stage of the Europa League in Ukraine.

On October 2, the seventh round of the Premier League will begin.

Fortunately, this time it was at home, otherwise not to mention the players, even Mourinho would not have had time to settle down.

Fortunately, this time the opponent is Stoke City, which is weaker, otherwise Manchester United will face big trouble.

But even so, it will be difficult for them to play this game.

Players who have just played in the Europa League, Mourinho has changed them all to the starting line-up.

This game is all about a rotational lineup.

Xia Xing asked Ying to start again, but Mourinho refused again.

'I can put you on the bench and if the team needs you, I'm going to put you on the pitch and you have to trust your team-mates.'

Well, I have to trust my teammates.

Xia Xing could only follow the arrangement.

In the end, Manchester United fielded an all-substitute line-up for this game.

Stoke City, on the other hand, played in full force.

Against a tired Manchester United, Stoke City will be looking to pick up points at Old Trafford.

Although they are in the middle of the league this season and their game form has been up and down, if they are in good form, they are ruthless characters that Arsenal and Chelsea can't gnaw on.

On the front line, there is the tall man Crouch and the former Barcelona genius Bojan.

In midfield there is the number 10 Arnautovic, and there is Shaqiri, who has excellent individual ability.

On the goalline is Grant, who has been in great form this season.

Stoke City are not weak in this game.

After the start of the game, facing Manchester United's second team, Stoke City launched a fierce attack.

Crouch received Shaqiri's cross early on and headed home from inside the box.

Beat central defender Marcos Rojo!

Romero struggled to get up and blocked the ball with his fingertips!

Stoke City almost snatched the opening kicker!

Next, they attacked fiercely in the middle and took turns to suppress.

Shaqiri's breakthrough ability and passing ability are top of the Premier League.

Stoke City spent €17 million last season to buy him from Inter Milan and instantly became the team's thigh.

This season has ushered in an explosion.

At the age of 25, he is known as the "Swiss Messi".

His performance in this game deserves the nickname.

On the right flank, his technical characteristics are used to the extreme.

Continuous dribbling and short passes made it very difficult for Manchester United's wide defense.

Midfielders Marouane Fellaini and Schneiderlin were teased by him.

There is also shadow striker Arnautovic, who also played at a world-class level in this game.

His passing is superb, his possession is great, and his attack in the back row is a must.

In the 19th minute of the game, a wonderful cooperation between the two created a killing opportunity.

Crouch was a post in the middle, and Bojan was quickly interspersed on the side, and the two formed a classic forward combination, one high and one fast.

They have attracted much of United's defensive attention.

Just then, Shaqiri's pass came!

But instead of looking for the two of them, he passed a maneuver and went straight to the far end of the penalty area!

Arnautovic stepped forward quickly, leaped high at the back post and headed over!

The ball slammed into the net!

It's too close to the goal!

Romero has nothing to do this time!

The ball is in!

1 to 0!

Stoke City score first!

This goal made them very happy!

With a ball in hand, it's good to kick!

United counter-attacked quickly and tried to equalise as soon as possible, but Stoke City's defence was so solid that it was difficult to tear apart the defence.

Until the end of the first half, United failed to score.

And just after the start of the second half, Stoke City's attack came again!

This time it's Shaqiri's breakthrough again!

He shook off two Manchester United defenders in a row!

Marcus Rashford, who was on the back, and Luke Shaw, who was on the up, couldn't make a successful break!

In the corner of the penalty area, Shaqiri kicks up and shoots!

The ball hits the lintel and pops off the bottom line!

Stoke City missed a great chance to extend their scores!

In the live broadcast room, Carragher was particularly excited today.

Seeing that Shaqiri failed to break the goal, he covered his head and was extremely regretful.

"What a shame!

"If this goal can be scored, then the game can be declared an early end!

"At the end of a wave of intensive battles, Manchester United was unable to withstand the pressure in the end.

"After all, their bench lineup is quite different from the main lineup, and it is impossible to maintain the same top-level attacking power.

'At least against a talented player like Shaqiri, there was nothing United could do today.

"This player is really good, as a former captain of Liverpool, I really recommend Liverpool to sign him.

'He's a good fit for Liverpool, trust me!'

Carragher chatted excitedly in the live broadcast room, and Mourinho on the sidelines frowned.

Now the team is in trouble.

What to do?

Substitutions?

Or do you simply adjust the formation and add more attacking players?

But if that's the case, the defensive ability will definitely drop.

At this stage, Shaqiri and Arnautovic can't be guarded, and if the defenders are reduced, it will be even more troublesome......

At this time, a voice came from behind him.

"Coach, replace me! I've seen the problems with Stoke City! ”

"Huh?"

"Please rest assured, give me 30 minutes, and I will definitely lead the team to a comeback!"

"Good!"

Jose Mourinho made a decisive substitution.

No. 28 Schneiderlin down, No. 7 summer line up!

After Xia Xing came on the field, his position seemed to be very erratic.

Although it is on the left side, it often leans towards the middle lane.

Shaqiri catches the ball and he also wants to speed up down the left flank.

But Xia Xing went directly to the body!

Knocked out the "Swiss Messi" all at once!

Immediately after, a long pass went straight to the right side!

Play the gap between the two defenders!

The ball made its way through the defence and found Anthony Martial in front!

Anthony Martial received the ball quickly and volleyed decisively on the line of the penalty area!

The ball goes straight into the corner!

The ball is in!

1 to 1!

Manchester United equalised!

Xia Xing came off the bench and gave a wonderful assist on the first pass!

A sword seals the throat!
