In the 10th minute of the game, Manchester United scored the first goal.

West Ham had a couple of good counter-attacks in the following period.

However, under United's two-back defence, none of them worked.

And just when West Ham United's attack was fruitless and a little anxious, Manchester United seized the opportunity to score again!

West Ham's cross was a bit high, but Hernandez couldn't get it on the top and Arnautovic didn't keep up.

Ashley Young's big foot clearance at the back point!

The ball fell to Xia Xing's feet!

It's Xia Xing's breakthrough again!

Sprint with the ball and head straight for the West Ham half!

On the left side at this time, he is like no one!

Even if I saw Xia Xing's strength last season and was mentally prepared, I still can't do anything at the moment!

Xia Xing sprinted with the ball and shook off two defenders in a row!

West Ham United's retreat speed is not as fast as Xia Xing's sprint with the ball!

Come to the bottom line and cross the bottom!

Go straight to the middle of the box!

Romelu Lukaku leaps high and heads in goal!

The ball smashes into the net!

2 to 0!

Manchester United scored another goal!

This goal caught West Ham United off guard!

Lukaku was thrilled to score the goal!

It was his first league goal in a Manchester United shirt!

He rushed to Xia Xing: "xia! Your cross is fantastic! ”

Xia Xing laughed: "You're still better!" ”

Romelu Lukaku was happy to score, and Xia Xing was equally happy.

There is no shortage of world-class strikers who have cooperated with the players before.

For example, Van Persie during the Leicester City period, Ibrahimovic and Rooney during the Manchester United period.

However, they are all old, the experience is fine, and the sense of position is good, but the impact is slightly lacking.

And young players such as Jamie Vardy and Marcus Rashford, although fast, are not very powerful.

This made Xia Xing think a lot when passing the ball.

But not Lukaku!

He had a body, and he was as strong as a buffalo!

With height, he can easily overwhelm opposing defenders!

The key is that he still has speed, and often hits the opponent with a crushing momentum!

Having such a forward partner is definitely a good thing for Xia Xing!

It is no exaggeration to say that Lukaku is definitely the best striker Xia Xing has ever partnered with, there is no one!

Except that sometimes the brain is foggy......

But looking at Lukaku's innocent smirk, Xia Xing was also happy.

If Lukaku had been a little smarter, he would have been a generational striker.

Even Ibrahimovic and Rooney can't compare.

But no one is perfect.

As long as you can make good use of his advantages, it's fine.

The two joined forces to extend United's lead.

2-0, that's a good score.

But for Mourinho, he is still not satisfied.

In the following period, United made several mistakes in a row.

A mistake in the midfield and a mistake in defensive coordination at the back.

Hernandez got two shots on goal.

Had it not been for David De Gea's world-class save, the scores would have been levelised.

Mourinho on the sidelines of the pitch is furious!

He roared loudly and reprimanded several players who had problems defensively.

Even the veteran Matic he poached did not escape the reprimand.

But it didn't take long for United to get back to their rhythm.

Slowly, continue to control the score.

Mourinho nodded in satisfaction.

The biggest reason for this change is the retracement of Xia Xing's position.

When the team was a little slack because of the lead, Xia Xing decisively withdrew to the midfield.

The double back waist became the third back waist, which instantly stabilized a lot.

Carrick has a lot of experience, Nemanja Matic is strong and tough, and Xia Xing is well-rounded.

The combination of the three is quite tacit.

Defending steadily, Manchester United played a lot more solidly.

With a two-goal lead, they had plenty of time to settle the situation.

In the following period, West Ham were fierce in attack.

Hernandez had another chance but couldn't find the back of the net in the end.

Valencia made a tackle in the box and Hernandez's shot was deflected wide.

Although the defense was destroyed, it also scared everyone.

If Hernandez doesn't shoot, but moves forward a little bit, then it's a penalty......

The referee's whistle blew and the first half was over.

With a score of 2-0, Manchester United took a comfortable lead.

However, in the dressing room at half-time, Mourinho was still unhappy with his team's performance in the first half.

"You're doing a good job, but it's not enough, but there are still a lot of problems!

"It's a shame that we have wasted a lot of opportunities.

"And the opponent's ability to take chances today is too poor, otherwise at least two goals can be scored.

'If our opponents today are Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea......

"I'm afraid we're lagging behind now!

"This 2-0 must not be complacent in the face of the weak team!

"I want you to score more goals and be more focused defensively!

"Don't forget, we started the season as defending champions!"

Facing Mourinho, the United players lowered their heads and began to reflect.

They did a good job in the first half, but they did have a lot of holes.

Mourinho was right.

Starting as the defending champions is bound to be more stressful and tougher than last season's.

Maybe the wins over Chelsea and Real Madrid made everyone a little slack?

Whatever the reason, the players recognised some of the shortcomings of the first half anyway.

In the second half, they changed sides and played again, and their form improved a lot.

Several scrambles in the front court were active in hand-to-hand combat, and they did not relax.

This made Mourinho on the sidelines nod secretly.

Yes, this group of lads is good.

In terms of overall strength, Manchester United is not at the top level right now.

Especially compared with teams such as Real Madrid and Barcelona, there are gaps in many positions.

Even compared to Chelsea, Manchester City and other teams, there are shortcomings.

But this is the same team that still won the quadruple last season.

Mourinho, more than anyone, believes in the role of spiritual power.

If Manchester United wants to continue to create miracles this season, they must be more energetic and go all out!

On the pitch, the United players are still fighting.

In the 59th minute of the game, in a midfield scramble, Matic crashed away from the defense and picked the ball out!

Xia Xing quickly stepped forward on the side and grabbed the second point!

Without hesitation, a long pass hits the back of the opposing defender!

Valencia at the far end quickly stepped forward and successfully countered offside!

This time he ran across most of the pitch!

Catch the ball and rush into the goal, get up and shoot!

The ball hits the net!

3 to 0!

Manchester United scored another goal!

And that's not the end of it!

Seven minutes later, United broke the ball again in midfield!

This time it's Xia Xing's broken ball, and he quickly knocks the ball to Carrick!

Carrick paused for a moment, waited for Lukaku to run, and then played a long ball into the box!

Romelu Lukaku cut forward quickly to attract the defence, and Rashford next to him was even faster!

The anti-offside position was successful, and the ball was received!

After a pause, shoot into the bottom right corner!

The ball goes into the net!

4 to 0!

Manchester United continue to extend their lead! (End of chapter)
