On June 20, 2020, the Premier League restarted.

It's a strange day for a lot of people.

In previous seasons, it was already the hustle and bustle of the summer transfer period, but now, Europe's top five leagues have not yet come to an end.

But for many fans, they're content.

It's a great feeling to see a beloved football season come back to life.

And for Manchester United, the next month will be a lot of pressure.

Although they are now fourth in the league, their rivals have been eyeing them all the time.

Over the next month, they will face nine league games.

This level of intensity is comparable to the Christmas schedule.

But it can't be helped, no one knows when the next wave of plague will come, especially for Europe.

If you can, kick it quickly, don't waste time.

So in the next period of time, not only the Premier League, but also the major European leagues have entered a period of fierce battle.

Manchester United, who are in fourth place, are under a lot of pressure.

Now they are ahead of Liverpool and Manchester City by 10 points.

This season's title will certainly come out of these two teams, there is no doubt about it.

And next to Manchester United, there are also teams such as Chelsea, Leicester City, Tottenham, Arsenal and so on.

Even teams such as Wolves, Sheffield United and Everton are not without chances of breaking into the top four.

So for Manchester United, there are nine games to go, but every game counts.

Thankfully, Manchester United have only had Premier League games in a month or so.

They were knocked out of the EFL Cup and FA Cup early on, with European competitions yet to start, so Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side can go all out for the next nine rounds.

In the thirtieth round of the Premier League on June 20, Manchester United played Tottenham Hotspur.

After almost 100 days of suspension, players on both sides have been slow to get into the groove.

It's true for Manchester United, it's also true for Tottenham.

The two sides made a lot of mistakes on the pitch today and had a lot of trouble.

Tottenham, though, were luckier.

In the 44th minute of the game, Son Xingmin suddenly accelerated and sprinted on the right side, shook off two defenders in a row, and passed diagonally into the penalty area!

Harry Kane shoots the ball into the net!

De Gea failed to hold on!

1 to 0!

Tottenham open the scoring!

With a goal before the end of the first half, Tottenham played well in the second half.

And so it was.

As soon as the second half began, Son Heung-min once again made a wonderful pass.

After shaking off the midfielder, Fred crossed diagonally to the far end!

Bergwijn plugs in quickly, catches the ball and shoots!

The ball goes into the net!

Just when the Tottenham fans were celebrating wildly, the referee's whistle blew!

Offside!

When Bergwijn stepped forward just now, although his position was fine, Harry Kane was offside.

This penalty made the Tottenham players very unhappy!

Kane's offside, what does it have to do with Bergwijn's shot?

Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho rushed to the fourth official and shouted in protest!

But he only got a yellow card for himself and almost got sent off.

Mourinho's behavior also earned him boos from many Manchester United fans.

Seeing Mourinho again, some of United's extreme fans don't seem so friendly.

At the moment they don't remember the joy Mourinho brought them.

Each is its own master, and Xia Xing on the court has no expression on this.

He can understand.

So when you see Mourinho again, he is also unceremonious!

In the 76th minute of the game, Xia Xing took the ball in the middle.

The whole game was like sleepwalking among his teammates, especially several young forwards, who lost their previous impact and form.

So now, Xia Xing simply did it himself!

35 meters away from the goal, Xia Xing shot with one shot!

The ball hits the net straight into the net!

Respond to the network!

1 to 1!

Manchester United scores!

Xia Xing scored the crucial equalizer goal!

Excited away fans thunderous applause!

It's not easy to score goals in such a difficult moment!

In the end, the game ended 1-1 with both sides out of shape.

It's over.

Xia Xing was not satisfied with this ending.

Because after this game, they have dropped out of the top four in the league standings.

Leicester City behind him won 3-0 to overtake Manchester United and enter the top four.

Manchester United's fifth-place finish is only one point ahead of Arsenal.

Arsenal also won this game and they are also eyeing the top four.

A game that didn't go so well, with Manchester United regretting a draw.

In the next few games, Manchester United's form is slowly recovering.

Four days later, Manchester United host Sheffield United.

Sheffield United have been in good form this season, currently seventh in the league and although a top-four finish is unlikely, a top-six finish is still possible.

So the game was away and they gave it their all.

Not only offensively, but defensively they did a good job as well.

Especially the defense of Xia Xing.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer frowned on the pitchside.

It is clear that the opposition has carefully studied the last game against Manchester United.

You must know that in the case of the whole team's repeated mistakes, only Xia Xing still played steadily.

The game was not fully restored either.

So as long as Xia Xing is strangled to death, Manchester United will be pinched.

So in the first half, Sheffield United even had two or three people in the zone dedicated to defending Xia Xing.

This made Xia Xing very helpless.

Do you underestimate my teammates so much?

On many occasions, Marcus Rashford, Mason Greenwood and Anthony Martial have often played 1-on-1 with their opponents.

If it's at its peak, it's easy to break through.

But now, they haven't been able to do it.

In this game, the veteran captain Giagielka played bravely.

At 38 years old, he is still solid defensively in the centre-back position.

The England veteran came through Sheffield United's academy.

After becoming famous, he was bought by Everton and returned to his parent club last summer after 12 years of play.

I thought it was a season for the elderly, the identity of a substitute, but I didn't expect this season to become a thigh.

Because of his fitness, he couldn't start consistently, but he had a world-class performance every time he came on in a key game.

This visa-free deal has made Sheffield United's expectations from a relegation team to an impact on next season's European competition.

It has a lot to do with Jagielka.

In this game, he organized the defense at the back and ruined Manchester United's attacking opportunities on several occasions.

In particular, Anthony Martial, who started this game, has tried to break through Jagielka five times so far, but all of them have failed.

This left Ole Gunnar Solskjaer speechless on the sidelines.

Anthony Martial is not in good form, but Jagielka is in great form.

At the age of 38, he can no longer compete with strength and speed, but with his defensive experience, he has finished abusing a talented striker who is 14 years younger than him.

Just looking at the performance in this game, he definitely deserves the glory of the England national team! (End of chapter)
