Standing on the pitch, Pogba felt in a good mood.

Because he was finally able to make his own decisions.

The current Manchester United is his Manchester United that belongs to him!

Yes, he does.

In addition to the amazing technical skills, the biggest highlight of this season's summer trip is the abundant physical fitness.

Xia Xing can play in almost every game, and he is full of energy to play 90 minutes.

That's powerful.

Pogba can even partner Xia Xing in every game.

Even if he wins, Pogba always feels like a shortcoming.

Now that Xia Xing is gone, he has become the midfield hegemon alone!

That's how it feels!

And the vice-captains Rooney and Carrick were not present, and the offensive and defensive rhythm of this team was almost up to him alone!

As soon as the second half began, Pogba came with a burst shot!

Although the shot did not go in, it also flew off the bottom line against the post, and the power was so great that the opposing goalkeeper did not react.

The visitors erupted in applause.

The score is now 0-0 and United fans are desperate for the team to break the deadlock.

Five minutes later, it was Pogba's long diagonal pass that found Anthony Martial as he sprinted quickly.

Anthony Martial fired into the far corner and the ball slid wide.

It's just a little bit off.

Even so, Pogba's pass was applauded by the fans.

Then, with Pogba in control, Manchester United's midfield clearly rebounded, changing the situation of being pressed by opponents in the first half.

In the opening 20 minutes of the second half, United went on and off with their opponents and had three great chances, all of which came close to scoring.

Even Alan Shearer in the live broadcast room couldn't stop admiring.

"Manchester United are so talented! Just replaced Xia, and now Pogba is here again! This young French midfielder is definitely top talent! I even think his ball sense is the closest I've ever seen to Zidane's French talent! The passing and shooting just now are very smart and very spiritual!"

Carragher pouted: "So Xia has stood out at Manchester United, perhaps at the expense of the opponent's performance, to achieve his Ballon d'Or."

Alan Shearer: "That's a bit too much......

Carragher: "If you look at Xia on the pitch, Pogba doesn't have as much freedom and opportunity as he does now."

Alan Shearer did not refute this time.

That's right.

This is a situation for any big club, with a lot of talented players in the team, but the ball is limited and must be distributed wisely.

Even Cristiano Ronaldo, who won four Ballon d'Or awards, has many black fans who say that he grabbed the ball from Benzema and Bale, affecting the number of goals scored by the two.

But look at the goals of Benzema and Bale when Ronaldo is occasionally injured, and it is clear.

There is no doubt that the team can give the ball and the right to fire to one person, and that person is absolutely at the top level.

For example, in Barcelona, Xavi and Iniesta do not have this problem, and the dual-core play style of the two is very suitable for the kind of lineup configuration that is both top stars of the same level.

And now Xia Xing and Pogba are obviously a little different.

However, today, Xia Xing, who is not in good shape, is obviously not among them, and is obviously not as good as Pogba at the moment.

In the 71st minute of the game, Pogba found Rashford with a long pass, and Rashford received the ball and scored with a single knife!

1 to 0!

Manchester United have finally broken the deadlock!

It was a goal that thrilled Manchester United fans!

Pogba rushed to the sidelines and excitedly interacted with the fans!

Even Mourinho was smiling.

This french kid is really good!

If he can be more consistent and disciplined, then he will definitely become one of the best stars in the world!

It will even become

The next Manchester United player to win the Ballon d'Or!

With a goal in hand, the United players are in a good mood.

But the team's poor form today was a whole.

In the 85th minute of the game, a counterattack by Crystal Palace, Zaha received the ball and ran wildly with the ball!

Pogba defended with his feet, but Zaha quickly changed direction and passed him!

Zaha then sprinted down the right flank into the United penalty area!

Three people in a row!

Shoot low to break the net!

1 to 1! Crystal Palace scored the equaliser!

The home fans cheered loudly with excitement!

Carragher pouted in the live broadcast room: "Former Manchester United players have hit Manchester United hard, and their three-point hopes are about to be dashed. It was a shot that frustrated Pogba's efforts. He was in great form in the second half and if he had come on Xia earlier, maybe United would have scored more goals and maybe not have to deal with this kind of draw.'

Alan Shearer shook his head: "If Xia is still on the pitch, then he will face Zaha's breakthrough directly on the wing, and there is a chance that this goal will not come to the end. After all, Xia's defensive ability is far superior to Pogba's."

Mourinho on the sidelines also shook his head repeatedly, dissatisfied with the goal conceded.

However, even with the tactical adjustments, the final minutes could not put United in the lead.

The final whistle blew and United were reluctant to secure a draw.

The score of 1 to 1 is a pity.

But even so, Manchester United fans are not panicking.

After all, their lead is still in double digits, so there's no rush.

Mourinho is not in a hurry.

But someone is in a hurry.

The day after returning from Crystal Palace, the Reds rested and Jose Mourinho gave the coaching staff a day off.

On this day, except for him in his office looking through the information of his opponents in the next few rounds, the training ground was empty.

At this time, the landline phone on the desk suddenly rang.

"Hello, I'm Jose."

"Jose, I'm Ed."

"Oh, Ed, I didn't expect it to be a call from you."

The caller was Manchester United's CEO, Ed Woodward.

He has been with the club since 2005 and became its Executive Vice Chairman in 2012. He is a die-hard Manchester United fan and a typical professional manager.

That's right, he's not like a football guy, he's more like a manager.

At Manchester United, he has a lot to offer, there's no denying it, but most of that credit comes in the business sector.

He has made Manchester United, which has been depressed year by year, still top the business world, and his ability to make money is world-class.

But he doesn't care about football.

At Manchester United, he was nicknamed "The Ghost".

That's because unlike his predecessor David Gill, who was often seen at Carrington's training ground, Woodward was rarely present, so the United players called him a "ghost", ironically mocking the CEO's rarely being seen at Carrington to talk to the players.

But that's also his characteristic, just make money, and nothing else.

On this break day, he actually called Mourinho, which made Mourinho very puzzled.

"I guessed you were in the office, I'm going to look for you now, are you free?"

"Come on, when you're free. But I still want to know in advance, what are you looking for me for?"

"Haha, you're still this anxious. Well, I'll tell you in advance."

"Listen up."

"I wish you could give Pogba more chances, shall we?"
